           Summary: absolute positioned DIV w/ single float:right child is
                    sized to its children.  bug?
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: All
               URL: http://studio.metacafe.com/
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: morganl.webkit at yahoo.com


absolute positioned DIV w/ single float:right child is sized to its children. 
i'm not sure if this is a bug, but IE and FF2 both size the DIV to the parent
node.

At http://studio.metacafe.com/, this causes the "Download Metacafe Pro 1.2"
link (in the upper right corner) to sometimes wrap in a weird way.  It seems
like they only sometimes serve the page with this link present.

I'll attach a reduced test case that more clearly illustrates the difference. 
Through testing, I found that IE and FF2 behave one way (they size the DIV to
its container), and WebKit, FF3, and Opera9 behave a different way (they size
the DIV to its contents).

It is possible that this difference causes more glarring artifacts on other
pages, but given this particular instance alone, I'd say that the "bug" is
fairly minor.
