Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit the testcase <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="fr" xml:lang="fr"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15" /> <title>Flowing on big li</title> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> #container { width:400px; color:white; } .main { background-color:green; } .floating { float:right; width:200px; background-color:blue; margin:5px; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div class="floating"> Look! The contents of the list DO NOT flow below me with the Gecko rendering engine. Is this a bug? </div> <div class="main"> <ul> <li>Hi, I am a list with very very long <code>li</code> elements. I can be the contents of a news log, or I don't know, anything else. A list of really long elements. This is really a matter of choice. Some weblogs use a list to let posts flow, and some others use <code>div</code>s. Perhaps it is a bad idea anyway to use a list.</li> <li>And I am the next post. I have no problem at all to flow below the float.</li> </ul> </div> </div> </body> </html> Actual Results: The width of the li element is automatically set not to overlap the float. Expected Results: The li elements should be behind the float, and its contents should flow around the float.
