Details

Here's the part of the HTML at http://schist/post.html that isn't displaying
correctly on Windows 98 (it's fine on Mac OS and linux):

<td valign="middle" align="center"> <IMG src="graypix.gif" align="center"
height="320" width="1" alt="_"></td>

That table cell should display a thin grey vertical line that goes from the top
of the cell all the way down to the bottom. (It's the only vertical line on the
page if you look at it). It displays fine on Mac and Linux using the April 8
apprunner, and fine on older Netscapeb browsers. However, on Windows only, the
line is missing about 50 pixels from both the top and the bottom of it, making
it look wrong.

[TESTCASE]

Actually, if you measure it, you'll see that the image *is* the right size.
The problem is that the text around it is slightly taller, so the line no
longer fits.

The reason the text around it is taller is due to bug 991 and others, as well as
some fundamental errors in the page itself (like using <font size="-1"> and
expecting the line-height to change as well).

If you put in some CSS like
   * { line-height: 10px; font-size: 10px; }
...then you get the effect that was probably desired.

Marking bug INVALID.

Yup, a <FONT SIZE="-1"> problem.
