This is hard to explain. Check out the URL below to see what I mean, I've
created a page to show explain it.

Basically if an image is added under some text (Using a <br> tag) but it is not
on the same line in the HTML an extra virtual line break appears to be inserted!
This doesn't occur in IE or Opera.

Reproducible: Always

I created (with Marc's help) a test case that has three different scenarios, and 
the reported line break is not evident at all. I will attach the testcase, but 
am marking htis as wfm.

tested using the build from 20011212 on win98 and winNT

Attachment: reduced test case

reduced test case with different tests that should have reproduced the problem.


As a sidenote, texttop is not a valid attribute value, the align attribute
values are: (top|middle|bottom|left|right)
