Have you tested that recently to confirm this is still an issue in
2014? Like I said, testing my current blog (which was uploaded before
you put in the clearfix fix) on Windows (IE, FF, and Chrome) and Ubuntu
(FF and Chrome), I simpIy can't see the issue, the right-side buttons
render all fine, as they also do after your clearfix fix. I couldn't
understand from your JSP comment why you removed the float last time as
I can't reproduce the problem (I'm relatively new to CSS and also didn't
understand the "clearfix" thing), but even if clearfix were an issue
today, it's more important to do that hack that you put in (thanks) as
IMO it makes sense and looks nicer for certain, more destructive buttons
like delete to be on the right side. This is not a functionality issue
(where we may need to make adjustments for older browsers to get them to
work) but an UI design one, meaning we can put more weight on having
Roller look sharp on modern browsers than to have it look suboptimal on
the current ones in order to improve appearance on older ones.
