Without looking at it in depth: min-width/max-width acts as
'hasLayout'[1] triggers in IE7, which causes the effect you're describing.
In my (very personal) terminology you get "a hard margin on a block
formatted element", which means the margins on paragraphs won't flow
behind the floats but instead line up against them, and the paragraphs
become isolated square blocks.
No other way to fix that IE7 'hasLayout' bug but to delete the
min-width/max-width 'hasLayout' triggers, and find another way to add
the space at both sides. If you want/need to support IE6 you'll have to
create such an alternative solution anyway.
