299402 - Bullets in lists disappear behind left floating tables (and allegedly images)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 57882

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Pete]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

The bullets on the first list on this page
(http://www.planetsaturn.myby.co.uk/floatingtablesandbullets.htm) should flow
around the table (which is floating left)... instead they appear behind the table.
This problem does not affect floating right tables (as evidenced in the second
example on the same page).
Bizarrely the same problem seems to occur in IE6, suggesting perhaps a common
fault (but I didn't think Firefox and IE shared any code?).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.planetsaturn.myby.co.uk/floatingtablesandbullets.htm
2. Look at first example on page; bullets appear behind left floating table
3. Look at second example on page; text flows around the right floating table

Actual Results:  
Bullets appear behind floating left tables.

Expected Results:  
Flowed the text around the floating left table.
