Every single UA (quite reasonably) makes the blue square half the width of the shrink-wrapping container. The only question is whether the width of the shrink-wrapping container is 96px or 48px. The browsers that make it 96px use the intrinsic width of the image to make that determination. The remaining ones apparently treat the image as having a width of 0 for shrink-wrapping purposes, so end up making the container the width of the orange div. -Boris
