Confirmed. Author mode (Control-G) helps --- but I suspect this shouldn't
be happening, obviously.

I narrowed it down to:

...

Test case:

Screen shot:

According to the outlines, the

Shouldn't the width be "shrink-to-fit"?

(This bug seems to have been introduced in 7.60.)

The DIV has no content anymore, as the table inside it is floated and so taken out of the flow. So it collapses to nothing, I suppose. But the textual content from the float-in-float should still push the next textual content aside, and this doesn't happen alas.

Ah, I see that now. (I haven't really dabbled much
with non-strict HTML...). The bug also occur when
the table is actually floated in CSS.
