prerequisites: option to open links in tabs on ^click should be on. (preferenses.navigator.tabbed browsing.open tabs instead of windows for...

ctrl-clicking on a thumbnail image in 'more news' section (middle column) to open linked url in another tab causes the thumnail image directly under the clicked one to jump to the right. 

Whatever may be said about the document markup, the fact that clicking on a link changes the visual page formatting is definitely a bug. Apparently it is caused by the fact that mozilla draws a selection border around the focused image and increases image size by the width of this border which IMHO is wrong - border is a purely navigational aid and its width should never be taken into account.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.dtm.de/index.en.php
2. ctrl-click on the first image in 'more news' section
3.

Actual Results:  
Image directly under the clicked one on moves to the right by about the image width

Expected Results:  
Document formatting should not change

Same problem in OS/2 FF beta 2, but the bug is in the page's poor CSS, not the browser. If your default font size is larger than the usual 16px, the text adjacent to each image spills below the image, and then the problem doesn't happen at all.
