Gaps seem to appear between some table cells when their borders have been set
through CSS. This seems to occur quite frequently in tables that have their
spacing and padding set to zero. The left and right edges of some adjacent cells
(as seen in the example) sometimes shift one pixel to the left or right instead
of staying lined up next to each other.

This problem can be made worse if the font size is decreased (or sometimes
increased.) Every time the font size is changed, the gap rendering error becomes
more (or less) obvious. The width of the cells in the example are fixed using
the em unit.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the example HTML file that contains the table
2. Decrease the font size if the error is not seen initially until one or more
gaps form between the vertical edges of adjacent cells

Attached file More clear example.
You don't need to assign borders at all to make this happen. All it needs is a
width for the td and the browser window needs to be large enough so that the
table width doesn't shrink due to it. 

It happens for example when td width is 22pt or 25pt, but it doesn't happen if
width is 23pt or 24pt or 26pt. So every 3rd number seems to make it happen.
View the source code of the example page and you should see how simple code it
needs.
