29209 - The table which should be beside the index table is shifted below it

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 24101

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Rob]

Overview Description
When you load up http://sysdoc.pair.com/ (Tom's Hardware Guide), the table which
contains the articles in centre (as opposed to the index table on the left) is
shifted to a position below the index table.

Steps to Reproduce
1)  Start Mozilla.
2)  URL http://sysdoc.pair.com/ is in favourites list; click on link.
3)  Page loads incorrectly.

Actual Results
Contents table (in the centre, headed "Welcome to Tom's Hardware guide") is
shifted below Index table (on the left, has a black background and is headed
with Tom's logo of a hammer).  There is a third column on the far right which
contains the latest news (called "Tech News", grey background) which gets
overrun with links to other articles from the Contents table (center) as you
progress further down the page.

Expected Results
All tables should scan across the whole page.  This works in Netscape 4.7 and in
IE4.

Reproducibility
This has always happened with Mozilla; about three or four times.

Build ID

Not tested on any other platforms or builds.

Additional Information
Running Windows NT4 SP4
Screen resolution 800x600 65536 colours
Screen slightly smaller due to MS-Office Shortcut Bar '97 against left side of
screen.

It's a problem with floats, I think.  The URL redirects to tomshardware.com.
