Text bounding box isn't properly considered when layout around float:s is calculated. It seems like only the upper left and right corners are used in the calculations. This causes text to overlap float:s in many cases.

The attached test case is some what extreme in this regard but clearly illustrates the problem.

tested with

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9

Result is the same

Reproducible: Always
