Hello Anton, No, my post did not want to question how it's decided next to which line box a float sits. This whole thing started in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-css-testsuite/2010Sep/0059.html My goal was really to triple-check that c414-flt-ln-002-draft.htm testcase, then ask if people saw differences between Opera 10.62 under Windows XP and Opera 10.62 under Linux in 2 testcases. If there is sufficient horizontal room granted by containing block on a line box for a float, then it should choose it and it should do so according to "8. A floating box must be placed as high as possible." which other browsers do in those aforementioned testcases but not Opera 10.62 under Windows XP. After seeing the way Opera 10.62 under Windows XP was handling c414-flt-ln-002-draft.htm testcase, I decided to dig deeper and created a smaller and more reliable, 100% trustworthy testcase ( section9.5.1-vertical-positioning-float.html [1]) where the displayed layout would not and could not be questioned.
