Narrative:

Our aircraft on short final, visual approach, runway 18L mco. Tower initially cleared another carrier's aircraft (I believe A320) for immediate takeoff on runway 18L. This aircraft had to make slight back-taxi from intersection B2, intersection B1 closed. Tower then canceled his takeoff clearance. This aircraft then reported approximately 10-20 ft past hold line on intersection B2. Tower acknowledged this and said we were still cleared to land. Our crew saw separation was not an issue and landed normally.
