can anyone explain why, please ?
Your right floated div can't go higher than where it is now - although you specify a width on the
left column,the object still occupies the full space.
The solution is to float (left) the left column.
I've no idea why it would work with 'overflow: hidden' on your side (it really shouldn't and it
doesn't in WebKit / Gecko browsers).
