Using 
Mozilla 1.7a
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040120

The OP's actions were taken to check the bug
And the bug *exists*.

Actual result: The vertical lines in the top menu are extened beyond the menu
Expected result: The vertical lines should be restricted to the menu.

Looking at the HTML source, the <span class="SeparatorTabsBg"> seems to be the
one which might be the reason for the problem

So ths site expects |0.7*font_size + 2px == font_size| to hold -- the vertical
lines are made by spans with a "normal" font size (whatever the inherited size
is), while the horizontal lines are the top/bottom borders on 0.7*font_size text.

Note that the identity is only satisfied if the text is 7px tall or so.

Also note that IE's handling of borders on inlines is very buggy, so it looks
like this site is just working around IE bugs and screwing over any browser that
handles inline borders decently in the process...

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
