From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020715 BuildID: 2002071503 I will attach a test case demonstrating the problem. The attached page should render all eight of the internal divs (the ones containing the letter 'a') inside the outer div (the one with the border). Mozilla 1.0, 1.1alpha, and 2002071503 all render the outer div with zero height (such that the border appears as a horizontal line), with the internal divs below it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. View the attached document.

Confirmed, I see the behavior described in the bug description.. However, are you sure this is not the desired behavior ? I do believe that if a <div> (box) has one absolute property, they must all be absolute, and should not be scaled by the renderer. However, I have no documentation to back this up, so perhaps it's all something I dreamt ;)

I don't think there's a bug here. CSS2 section 9.5 "Since a float is not in the flow, non-positioned block boxes created before and after the float box flow vertically as if the float didn't exist. " Mozilla, Opera and Konqueror all render the same too. Convince me they're all wrong.

that's quite silly, but still valid CSS2, so this is invalid (and a dup) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 22431 ***
