At http://jw.clawz.com/sublayers.html, you see layers in layers. The borders of
the layers are colored. At the first example, all sublayers are in the toplayer.
In the second and third example, the toplayer doesn't contains any text, only
the other layers. You see a yellow line where the toplayer starts. The text
after the toplayers stands in the toplayer. Take a look at the source!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(Look at the example at http://jw.clawz.com/sublayers.html)


Expected Results:  
The text after the toplayer should be placed after the toplayer.

Example 2 is rendered correctly. You removed all normal flow content from
the yellow box so its height is zero, that's why "Text after toplayer" floats
up next to the 2nd float:left. This is correct layout.

Example 3 suffers from the same problem, but I think there is a layout bug
there, the text "Text after toplayer" should stay clear of the right float
but it overlaps it.

The text should not overlap the right float here?

Here is another case that involves overlapping. This time floating dive overlaps
with pre block if you make windo too narrow. IMHO if the div reaches the pre
there should appear scrollbar for the whole body. MSIE does it that way.

The real-life example is at http://www.ee.pw.edu.pl/~stelmacl/xystray/. I've
worked around the problem by setting min-width for the whole body at 750px. Yet
this is not a good way.

This was fixed a long time ago, probably by...
