297844 - Clear:none on the next block causes the first line of the left floater to get cleared

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Floats, defect)

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

This is a follow-up from bug 204831.
The second testcase ("Added option to set clear to none and back.") in that bug,
still shows a bug.

When clicking on the "[Set Next Block Clear to None]" link and the "[Set Next
Block Clear to Left]" link, I would not expect the left block to become higher
(because the text on the first line gets cleared to the second line). This is
not what Opera7.54 is doing.

Hmm, well, this might not be a bug after all.
It's the margin on the floating div, that's causing 'line jump' (so the summary
of this bug is all wrong).
When the next block has clear:none, the margin-top is calculated with the
offset from that div, which is precisely what should be done accordingly to the
specs, if I understand it correctly.

Yeah, this looks right to me.
