Must be a bug, if you change the TABLE to another block element, Gecko
will push the block below. This a TABLE if the containing block is the
BODY then Gecko seems to aways expand the BODY to accommodate.
Interestingly if you wrap the floated 100% wide DIV in a fixed with DIV,
if the following block it a TABLE and overflow visible it just pushed
the TABLE outside of the container even if you explicitly set with width
of the table:
<div style="width:500px; border: 1px solid red; overflow: visible;">
<DIV style="width:98%;float:left;background-color:blue;">
Hi
</DIV>
<table style="border: 1px solid red; width: 200px;">
<tr><td>some text</td></td>
</table>
</div>
But change to a DIV and wraps accordingly:
<div style="width:500px; border: 1px solid red; overflow: visible;">
<DIV style="width:98%;float:left;background-color:blue;">
Hi
</DIV>
<div style="border: 1px solid red; width: 200px;">
some text
</div>
</div>
Also noticed if you wrap the TABLE in a DIV, Gecko still will not wrap
until you set a width on that DIV...
