278841 - Floating CSS elements will float incorrectly over parts of the page when images are used

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Nick Kochakian]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When the example page is loaded, the div element that contains the word "Text"
will hover incorrectly over the first div element, which contains an image.
Reloading the page fixes the problem as the div element floats back into its
correct position, but the problem reoccurs if Firefox is closed and the page is
loaded again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the example HTML file and image
2. Open the page with Firefox
3. Press reload to fix, or close Firefox and go to step 2 to see the problem again




This was seen on pre-1.0 versions of Firefox as well. This problem only seems to
happen when images are used. It would appear that the floating div element is
not correctly adjusted the first time the page is loaded.

Yes, it's broken in firefox1.0, but seems to have been fixed. Worksforme in
moz1.8a6.

Since for the most part the rendering code in 1.0 came from a branch from last
April, it's a good idea to also install a recent trunk build if you're going to
spend much time chasing down rendering bugs: 1.0 will show you things that have
been fixed for six or eight months.
