384838 - CSS 2.1 inline floated example fails

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 50630

(Core :: Layout: Floats, defect)

Description

[Gérard Talbot]

Load provided URL

Actual results in Firefox 2.0.0.4 rv:1.8.1.4 build 20070515 under XP Pro SP2: the letter "b" is OUTside and below the dotted <p>.

Expected results: the letter "b" should be INside the dotted <p>.

Reference: the example at the end of section 9.5.1 of CSS 2.1 on "Positioning the float: the 'float' property"
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#float-position

To Bug triagers/QA people: what needs to be done is to
a) verify that such bug happens on the trunk
b) search for a possible duplicate
I have not been able (lack of time) to verify or search. As far as I remember, that testcase failed in Seamonkey 1.5a nightly trunk builds in May 2007

Note: Opera 9.21, Safari 2 and Amaya 9.54 all pass that test.

Still the same problem on up-to-date trunk.

dupe of bug 50630 ?

Hello Philippe, 
I'd say from the description, comments and attachments that bug 50630 involves floated blocks, not a floated inline element. 
Anyway, I've asked in bug 50630 just to be sure.

There's no such thing as a floated inline -- anything floated becomes a block.
