This one is curious. I picked this up at www.boston.com on the front
page when I was checking some other bugs (other (different) bugs on
www.boston.com bug #1431, bug #1240, bug #1239, bug #4836(FIXED)).
In the present state of this test case, the text "BRIAN MCGRORY"
overlays the IMG (as it did when I saw it on the page www.boston.com
April 9th)
Tested with April 9 & 10, win95 opt builds.
At first, I figured this would come down to one condition. However, there
appear (to me) to be a number of dependencies among the block elements,
the font markup and the floated table. You can (refer to numbers below):
(1) delete this line and make everything work
(2) delete this line and the IMG 'disappears'
(3) delete this line and the IMG 'disappears', but in a different way
(4) delete this line and make everything work
(5) drop the align=left, and, (of course) make everything work
(6) replace the IMG with text, and have the text do the overlay
(7) lose the <FONT></FONT> tags from around the name, and make everything work
(8) uncomment this closing </FONT> and make 'Mooney's grass ...' overlay the
IMG too

I just tried this with the M4 release (win95 opt) and the test case lays out
fine. All of the variants also lay out fine except one (7). By accident, I
changed the line for (7) above to the one noted below and got the text
'Mooney ..' overrunning the image.
<!--
this is the same HTML as before with one change (7B) remove the
<FONT> from the previous case and 'Mooney's grass ...' overlays
the image.
-->
<html><body>
<font face=arial,helvetica size=-1>
<p>
<br clear=all>
<p>
<table width=50 border=0 align=left>
<tr><td>
<img src="http://graphics.boston.com/globe/images/columns/mcgrory.gif"
width=50 height=62>
</td></tr>
</table>
BRIAN MCGRORY</font><br> <!-- (7B) -->
Mooney's grass is always greener ... As the Sox return Tuesday for ...
</body></html>

Original problems resolved. Still demonstrates some problems with <FONT>
wrapped around blocks -- possible dup of bug #991 -- Ian?
