368553 - ul with floating div is wider than it used to be

Status: NEW

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

Attachment: testcase

The url mentioned looks different now, the right column is pushed down.

I think this is happening because of the difference that is shown with the testcase between current trunk builds and branch builds (or older trunk builds).
This regressed between 2006-12-07 and 2006-12-08, so a regression from bug 300030.

How does this work in Safari and Opera?

Comment 2

In Opera both boxes are just as wide, in Safari, the text of the second box is put right after the red box, which is why the second box gets wider in Safari.

The site in question is now working for me. I think something was changed on the site itself, since it's also working in a 2007-10-01 build.

Basically what's going on here is that we're calculating intrinsic widths as though bug 50630 were fixed.  I'm not sure how much energy it's worth putting in to fixing this, given that the calculation of intrinsic widths around floats is just an approximation anyway.

Fwiw, the site in question is now failing again.

I think bug 414251 is a duplicate of this bug. Martijn ?

Moving to p3 because no activity for at least 1 year(s).
