Float Bug

When creating a Floating Div, the border in the area next to it does not go
behind the float, instead it is in the foreground.  This is not correct
behavior and in fact was working correctly in IE6.

I have screen shots of this in both IE6 and IE7 should anyone care to see
it.  

Using xHTML 1.0 Strict DocType on Win XP Pro SP2 and  IE7 RC1

HTML
div id="photo"></div>
<div id="banner">
    <h1>SMART ACT</h1>
    <h2>Accessibility Center for Testing</h2>
    <ul id="mainnav">
    <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
    <li class="current"><a href="#">Project</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Testing</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Reporting</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Options</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Help</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Logout</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

CSS

div#photo{
    background-image: url(eye.png);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: top left;
    width: 141px;
    height: 130px;
    float: left;
    margin-right: 3em;
}

div#banner h2{
    font-size: 1.8em;
    font-style: italic;
    color: #844B2C;
    border-bottom: .15em solid #00545A;
}

Hi Sandra,
png is not supported in IE6. Could this be the difference?

A url would be more helpful than a screen shot.

Regards.

The png is showing up fine in IE6, So I don't think so.  This is a proof of
concept so  I don't have it on a server for a URL.  If you send me an email,
I can zip it up and send it to you.

Just an FYI, I changed the png to a jpg and the issue is still there.

background-color is showing up in front of the float on both IE6 and IE7 as
well.

Hi Sandra,

you can reply to iecustomizer at hotmail.com

are you using borders on your image control? have you tried setting the png
as the background image to the div rather than an embedded img?

send us the link anyway.

Regards.

Sending you the zip separately.  I'm not using any image, its a
background-image on the div.

Hello Sandra:

I have the same problem with float property. Just I have installed the IE7
final release. It supposed the bugs are eliminated, but this bug exists yet.

Please Microsoft, do something with this problem because CCS2.0 it is a
standard, did you know?

Really is a problem.

I think this over-drawing bug occurs whenever a block element following (not
necessarily directly) a float ends in italic text. Then, although the
text-wrapping is correct, the background and borders are drawn on top of the
preceding float.

Minimal-ish testcase and description at:

I have found the same problem. It also occurs with font-style:oblique;
A test-case can be found here:
http://www.straatadvocaat.org/samples/fontStyleFloatBug.html

At the moment the IE7 feedback-page is offline. As soon as it is back, it
gets reported, if it hasn't already.
The lack of css-support from IE in general is a problem to say the least.
Fix it.
