Float Bug
This page tests one of Gecko's floating bug, introduced with builds following the release of Mozilla 1.3 which did not display it. The DIV#links at right, in order to be positioned under DIV#pic, which is also floating right, needs a clear: right; rule, thus applying rule #10 as specified under the clear specs and overriding rule #2 of the float specifications. The side effect is that the left-floating image in this paragraph, which should be as high as the beginning of this paragraph, is pushed down, thereby disattending rule #8 which mandates that a floating element should be positioned as high as possible while respecting preceding rules.
