Welcome to the list. :-) Gecko 1.7~1.8 and IE7 will show this behavior when a child element is floated right inside a parent element floated either left or right. <http://css-class.com/test/css/visformatting/floats/floats-width-auto.htm> I should add that in Gecko 1.7~1.9 and Opera 9.5 a right floated element within an overflow container, either the viewpoint or an element with overflow:auto and overflow:scroll will be clipped at the left edge of the overflow container. All other browsers that I know of will show the full width of such a float. <http://css-class.com/test/bug/float-right-left-edge-hidden.htm> This is now a bug in Safari [1] and was discussed [2] on the CSS WG mailing list.
