156244 - If DOCTYPE specified, page is rendered incorrectly (element's extra spaces on bottom)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 22274

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Eugenio MORASSI]

All pages in www.roam.it website and in www.romanaegentes.it correctly validates
as HTML 4.01 Frameset and Strict by W3C; so are the CSS.

If in the source the <!DOCTYPE...> tag is present, regardless his contents, the
pages acquires extra vertical spaces, table rows grows in height with extra
pixels on bottom and linked images reports extra bottom border.

Changing the DOCTYPE declaration doesn't solves, comment (or remove) them solves.

This happens ever and in every Mozilla build later than 0.9.4 and in every
operating system (Mac OS (X), Win* and Linux (intel) RedHat and Slackware
personally tested). Other platforms also reported.

See also bug #153032 for the implementation of an "almost standards" rendering.

In any case, in presence of a DOCTYPE triggering the standard mode, Mozilla will
display the way W3C standards are requesting.
