150874 - Extra space at bottom of table cell

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[John Siracusa]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529
BuildID:    2002052918

Look at this URL:

http://cs-people.bu.edu/macintsh/mozilla/bug1.html

There should be no "white notches" on the sides.  That extra white space below
the tab_left.gif and tab_right.gif images should not be there.  The table has 
cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" set in it, so there should be no empty space
between table cells or rows.  To see an expanded example, look here:

http://cs-people.bu.edu/macintsh/mozilla/bug1.1.html

Notice how it's the presence of a table cell with an image in it that seems to
trigger the bug.  Again, the extra space under the image in example number 4
should not be there.

Note that Win IE6 shows the bug (but with less extra space) in the first URL,
but does not show the bug in the second URL.

Mac IE5 gets both of them right.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Just look at the URLs in the description.

Actual Results:  You'll see extra space at the bottom of the table cell with an
image in it, despite cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" in the table.

Expected Results:  There should be no extra space at the bottom of the table
cell(s).
