Bottom margin bug on hover

In IE with SP2 if you a few a few anchor tags for a menu that have some vertical distance from each other (by using the bottom margin) and on hover want them to change background color, you are in for a nice surprise (removing the margin of the anchor 2 places behind it ..)

The first line of the description for this report does not make any sense.

According to the workarround, float: left and
clear: left should do the trick.
BUT....
It indeed fixes the problem, but creates another one.
It places a copy of the latest characters of last floating box below the last floating box.

As Xander stated the current workaround is buggy. Try wrapping each tag in another block level element (div, li, etc...) and apply the margin style to the wrapping element.

Hope that helps
