Hi.  On the signup page of www.sell.com, the 0.96 release draws an extra newline
(sometimes) between certain tables.  I downloaded the nightly CVS of mozilla,
and it appears to be fixed, and using an older version of mozilla (like 0.90),
we never noticed this buglet.  Since it appears to be fixed now, i'm marking it
as trivial just to let you guys know that it was a weird blip.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to page with 0.96
2. Look at space between user-agreement header and user-agreement body
3. Notice the extra space

The basic format of our "pretty boxes" is:

<table width=80%>   -- bounding table
<table width=100%>Header</table>
<table width=100%>
  <tr>a row</tr>
  <tr>another row</tr>
</table>
<table width=100%>footer</table>
<br>
...repeat per each box on the screen...
</table>

We've noticed it on several of our internal screens as well, possibly in
conjunction with using <pre> tags, but I have no idea why some tables appear to
render badly, and some don't.  Don't know what to say about this one, but I
wanted to give you guys a heads up.

Seems to WFM 2001122608 Linux

Reporter: Can you still reproduce the bug in 0.9.7?

WFM too, under 0.9.7 on windows for sure. I'm away from all my linux boxen, but 
I don't feel like there will be much of a difference.  If I notice it again, 
I'll probably attach another comment to this bug (or just file a new one).  

Thanks again- you guys rock, and have been very professional!  :^)
