In this example, two blocks, one with "float: left;" and one with "clear: both;" are laid out differently and strangely when nested in a multi-column block

This problem similarly affects the "clearfix" technique, commonly used to stretch blocks to enclose all nested floats, http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html

Reproducible: Always
Looks like a likely duplicate of bug 529340; should retest once that's fixed.

Depends on: 529340
