Well, the whole form is inside #content - which is floating now, so the
clearing-elements won't interact with anything outside #content.
That's repeating what I wrote earlier, and that's how it works.
However, you're referring to the behavior _before_ that floating were
introduced, and those clearing <br /> didn't interact with the menu then
either.
There is another element in that very page which also provides
'isolation': <fieldset> All clearing <br /> are inside that 'fieldset'
and that's what saved that page.
I had to test how all those elements interacted in your page - styled
and unstyled, as I was unable to find specific information that says
that 'fieldset' establish a 'block formatting context' / triggers
'layout' by default.
Maybe someone can enlighten us both on this point.
