278861 - position:relative changes float behaviour.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 281267

(Core :: Layout: Floats, defect)

Description

[Christian Schmidt]

I have a testcase containing a floating <p> inside a <div> with position:
relative. Text outside the <div> overlaps the text in the floating <p>. If I
resize the window, the text "jumps" out so that it no longer overlaps the
floating text.

Might be related to bug 273193.

Attachment: Testcase

When I load this file, "Foobar" and "Lorem ipsum" overlaps. Resizing the window
makes "Lorem ipsum" move right.

If I remove the <img> from the testcase, everything works as expected.
