Yes, this is correct behaviour. The background of your comments div should slide under the floated item - the right nav. The foreground (the text) should not slide under, instead it should stop against the edge of the floated item.
There is a good reason for it. The reason for this is to do with an element that is longer than a floated item. Best explained with this example: http://www.maxdesign.com.au/jobs/css/floatandborder.htm If the CSS spec asked browsers to stop borders and background colours from going under floats, it would be very hard to render borders when the conent flows around a float... The border would have to be an inset rectangle shape The borders would have to look like this (very hard for browsers to render): http://www.maxdesign.com.au/jobs/css/floatandborder2.htm Make sense?
