470118 - {ib} inline containing only a block shows inline part before but not after the block

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 480323

I thought there was already a bug report on this odd behavior in our block-within-inline code to split the inlines, but I can't find one.

An inline element that contains *only* a block is handled asymmetrically:  we make an inline before the block, but not after it.  I'm not sure which way is right, but it should be one or the other rather than half-and-half.  (What does the spec say?)

This is sort of shown by attachment 353551 [details], although it's not a great testcase since is itself somewhat asymmetric (if we ever fix padding-left to only apply to the first part).
