When an inline element contained in a block-level element is made to flow around a float, Mozilla adjusts the side edge next to the float at the block level rather than at the line level. For example, if an HTML list (ul) is made to flow around a float (say the float is on the right), each of the lists's eleemnts (li) will have a fixed (straight) right edge rather than flowing around the float as it should, creating an unpleasant and incorrect blank under the float. The given test case <URL: http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/madore/.test/cssfloat3.html > should display the problem clearly. In case it isn't clear, <URL: http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/madore/.test/cssfloat3-snapshot.png > shows a snapshot of how it renders, with a large red "BAD" added where the bug is. The CSS spec apparently states that floats should not interfere with the computation of normal sizes and positions of non-floated boxes. Mozilla seems to believe that they should. Also see <URL: http://www.google.com/groups?threadm=b9cdu2%241tsc%241%40nef.ens.fr >. Bug 75286 and bug 168160 seem related to this, but different.
