This is from HotBot.com. It seems that nesting some css code within font tags screws up the css. A span sets the font-color to red but the red "bleeds" beyond that span. I believe this is a regression bug since it didn't appear until M13 and M14.
Probably some bug 991-related residual style problem. This is a compat bug, since the markup is badly formed.

It's indeed a residual style problem. The problem doesn't happen when the FONT tag is inside the DIV. Reassigned to Harish.
