Firefox 1.0 rc2 not respecting clear:both; bug or correct behaviour?

I've found another way; I often temporarily turn on the border on a div
wrapper so I can check if it's actually clearing the floats, and I've
noticed that an empty div will clear in the Moz and NN7 if the border-bottom
is on. (For those who haven't read it elsewhere, IE and Opera will wrap an
empty clearing div.)

As soon as you turn the border-bottom off, the div fails to wrap. So if you
are concerned that whatever you put in the clearing div might show under
certain circumstances, perhaps you can try border-bottom on instead with
something like:

div#wrapper {border-bottom:1px solid #FFF;}

for use on a white background, then it doesn't show. Anyone else noticed
this, or use it when wrapping floats?

Charlie
