432139 - [1.8 branch] List to the right of left-floated objects are rendered incorrectly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 262195

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14

In a page which is right-to-left, when an image is added, and is floated to left using CSS, and some text is added next to it, it is expected that the text should be rendered to its right. However, as you can see here:

http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_bug

That image causes the text to get kicked out of its place. A similar bug exists which is solved on Wikimedia wikis by adding a line saying:

UL { display: block; }

however, this solution doesn't work in this case.

The same page renders correctly in Internet Explorer and Opera.

Reproducible: Always

I can reproduce the bug where text goes outside the table in

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14

but works fine in

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008050416 Minefield/3.0pre

With further investigation it became clear to me that this bug is exactly the same as bug 262195. Until Firefox 3.0 is releaseed, the workaround is to use:

 UL { display: table; }
