• Bug Management
  • NEW: 5.
  • REOPENED: 2.
  • VERIFIED: 3.
  • INVALID: 4.
  • WORKSFORME: 2.
  • WONTFIX: 1.
  • DUPLICATE: 39.
  • Made a total of 262 bug modifications.
• Hot Bugs
  • The following four nsbeta3- bugs need some loving attention:
    • 12272: clear not clearing floating children of previous siblings
    • 4831: float should not be higher than earlier float on opposite side
    • 46291: float should not be higher than cleared float on same side
    • 41412: text overlapping top edge of pushed-down float
    Unfortunately, the layout team is swamped with other bugs just as important, and these were the unlucky bugs that got knocked out. Not fixing these bugs means our CSS1 'float' support will be worse than IE5's, and will prevent the adoption of that section of CSS for the immediate future.
