I am looking into an issue with formatting using a CSS-based multiple column 
layout and with screenlets in each column.

The problem is that in the htmlScreenMacroLibrary.ftl file there is a 
hard-coded clear on line 148:

<br class="clear" />

With most browsers these clears are no context-sensitive, they clear ALL 
floats. This means that it messes up the multi-column formatting.

Would anyone be too disappointed if we removed this, and if you need a clear 
below your screenlet then just use a container element after the screenlet 
element in your screen definition?

Also, does anyone know the reason this was put there in the first place?

Can anyone think of any issues removing this might cause?
