386988 - float regression (rendering no longer matches older firefox, opera or konqueror)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Floats, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.12) Gecko/20070601 Ubuntu/dapper-security Firefox/1.5.0.12
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a7pre) Gecko/2007070504 Minefield/3.0a7pre

Open the attached test case (Sorry, I didn't have enough time right now to make the smallest testcase but I'll make one if it's needed).


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Everything after the icon placeholder (blue border) is rendered too low (about the icons worth of vertical space). The selector ".wrap" and rule "float: left" is probably the cause.

Expected Results:  
The test case should render similar to Firefox 1.5, 2.0, Opera 9.0 or Konqueror 3.5.2. (The blue-bordered-icon should be on the "same line" as the title.)

I don't have exact regression date but this change has happened during the last few weeks. The original page that I used to create this simplified test case used to render correctly in Minefield 3.0a6pre/something.

I have hard time believing that this is an unknown bug but I cannot find a duplicate. Probably the correct bug has something to do with two consecutive elements floated to left not wanting to be side-by-side.

Attachment: Testcase (somewhat simplified)

The icon (represented by blue border, originally there was a 32x32 pixel icon) should render on the same line as the title.

Due to bug 386147 probably; but that's a two-parter and only the first part has landed atm.

Does the patch in bug 386900 fix this?

Works for me, too. Marking this bug as fixed (if I'm allowed to).
