160950 - <td height> can't be less than the height of the font

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 150403

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Hakon]

Why isn't it possible have a <td height> having a very small value (like 4px or so)?
I consider this a bug, it seems to have something to do with the editor assuming
that a <td height> can't be less than the font height, but if there's no text,
it shouldn't matter.

I found out that all I had to do was to remove the <br> from the html source
code, using an editor:

      <td valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="2" style="height: 4px; white-space:
nowrap;"><br>
</td>

But it can't be done from within the Composer, because it will reformat the code
back into the original state very soon.
Why does the Composer append a <br> to ever <td> anyway?
It shouldn't, at least not if the cell is empty.

Or maybe duplicate of bug 150403 since it was filed before 154080.
However, 154080 seems slight more discussed.

duping against a dup isn't the best idea

#4 - you're right, but its status wasn't DUP earlier today.
