I couldn't provide you with citation of CSS specification but combining 
position: fixed and float: left seems to me as something that 
fundamentally couldn't work. It will mean that text of document should 
be reflowed after each scroll. This is technically wrong and usability 
of such layout is also not very high IMHO. If you want to use floating 
menu, then do not use position: fixed.
