1036750 - Inconsistent whitespace collapsing near <br style="position: fixed">

Attachment: dynamic

The two attachments should look the same. Here's what I see:

Firefox (dynamic)      1 2

Firefox (static)       12

I don't know which rendering is correct. Checking with Google Chrome is not much help, because it shows a third rendering:

Google Chrome          1
                       2

Locally, I see the same inconsistency (between dynamic vs. static) for setting "float:left" & "position:absolute" on the <br>.

(Not surprising that they have the same result; all of those take the element out of flow)

"display:none" is consistent between dynamic & static, however -- it renders both as "1 2" (with a visible space)

I'd guess that that's the correct rendering.
