Description

[jsp]

From Bugzilla Helper:

Setting the CSS float property can affect tab navigation among anchors, causing
some anchors to become unreachable.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Fire up one of the attached test cases, click somewhere in the document to get
focus into the document, then use the tab key to navigate among the anchors.
(You really shouldn't have to click in the document to start with, but I'm
pretty sure there's already a bug for that.)

Actual Results:  One of the anchors in each test case cannot be reached by tabbing.

Expected Results:  You should be able reach all the anchors by tabbing.

Identical behavior on Mac build 2001020208.

Important but can't fit it in right now.

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer
working on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or
another known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work
in some way -- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

Joki, I'm giving you advanced warning that this is going to be upgraded sometime
after embedding 1.0 ships. I'd like it 6.5, but it will at last need to be in
7.0. Who would this have to fall on?
