On www.nvda-project.org , the main menu with its link in a list appear on a single line. On other websites, though, like www.redmine.org , the links in list appear on separate lines (one link on a line).

I tried to figure out why (some other screen readers display the links in list on a single line, on both websites). The only thing I found is that, in the HTML source code, the main menu of the NVDA website is on a single line whereas each link of the Redmine project, for instance, is on a seperate line. But a new line in HTML should not be obtained without a
or others HTML tags. I think it's a bug and, I hope, not very hard to fix if it comes from NVDA and not from the browser itself.

The problem relates to the way in which the list is made horizontal. On nvda-project.org, the list is made horizontal by setting the list items to display as inline elements. On redmine.org, the list items are floated to the left of each other. NVDA determines whether to render on the same line based on whether elements are inline, so the technique used on redmine.org isn't detected.

Rendering on the same line based on floating could be problematic, as this could be used to float anything; e.g. large chunks of text. In some cases, this could be undesirable.
Changes:
Changed title from "Some links in list appear on separate lines" to "Links in list appear on separate lines when list items are floated"

@jcsteh By #2407 (comment), could you please clarify if you were implying that this issue should be a wontfix/cantfix, or something else?

There may be a way to fix this, but I don't know how. It also doesn't seem overly important. P4: we'll take a PR, but we can't prioritise this ourselves.
