728291 - Tables of fixed width do not clear fixed-width floated elements when the combined width is larger than the fixed-width container

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 478834

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:10.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.1
Build ID: 20120208060813

Steps to reproduce:

I created a header and a fixed width table inside of a fixed width div, such that the combined width of the header and the table was larger than that of the containing div.

Windows XP
Firefox 10.0.1


Actual results:

The table was pushed right as if to wrap around the float, however the table was no longer entirely within the container. This occurred regardless of if the header was assigned a width or not, so long as its calculated width and that of the table exceeded the width of the container.

Expected results:

The table should have been forced to clear the float and move down to the next line in order to remain within the bounds of the parent container.
