<title>CSS Test: BFCs with large margin, placed next to a float</title>

<!-- This test exercises the layout of an auto-width BFC with a large positive
margin on one side, positioned alongside a float. (Here, "large" = larger
than the space that's left when the float's width and the BFC's border
are subtracted away from the available space.)
The scenarios here break down into 3 cases, described below as A/B/C with
expected outcomes for each (with expectations based on the observed and
interoperably-implemented behavior of Gecko, WebKit, and Blink, aside
from some known bugs listed further down[1]):
(A) If the BFC's margin is on the same side as the float, then that margin
can simply overlap the float. In this case, nothing needs to overflow or
wrap, and there may even be some space remaining for the BFC's auto-width
content box (rendered as aqua).
(B) If the BFC's margin is on the "line-start" side and the float is on
the "line-end" side, then the BFC's margin pushes it into the float's
margin-box-area such that it impermissably "collides". So, the BFC
instead gets moved down below the float to avoid this collision. With
this moved-down placement, there may be space remaining for the BFC's
auto-width content-box -- precisely the same amount of space as in case A.
(C) If the BFC's margin is on the "line-end" side and the float is on the
"line-start" side, then the BFC is placed adjacent to the float, and its
large margin simply runs off the line-end edge of its containing
block. The BFC's content-box is 0 width (since there's no free space left
over).
Note: the expected-outcome in case B and C feels somewhat asymmetrical,
and in fact Gecko is the only engine that pushes the BFC down in case B.
But Blink/WebKit's alternative behavior for case B involves the BFC
overlapping the float, which clearly violates the spec, as discussed in
their bugs linked below. So I'm making the test expect Gecko's existing
and non-spec-violating behavior for case B, at this point. (I'm guessing
the asymmetry comes from how overflowing margins are handled at the
line-start vs. line-end edge, which makes some sense.)
Here's how this test's groups (black-bordered sections) map to these cases:
* This test's 1st, 4th, 5th, and 8th groups are "case A".
* This test's 3rd and 6th groups are in "case B".
* This test's 2nd and 7th groups are in "case C".

WebKit and Blink:

// populate this document with the content that we want to render.
// (Specifically: if we e.g. throw a JS exception somewhere early in both
// the testcase and reference case, then the "reftest-wait" class will
// never be removed; and that will cause the test run to be classified
// as a failure, rather than a trivial "pass" with a visual comparison of
