I have had this bug on a lot of pages, I get an enormous blank in between the top and the bottom of the page because of this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the URL provided, or use the code above 2. Open your eyes 3. Look at the screen Actual Results: The table is much too big. Expected Results: The table should just be 1 line high. If you change a single character in the code (including replacing 'à' with 'a') the bug disappears. However you can change 'a' to 'b', or 'à' to '©', as long as you don't add/remove any characters. Try selecting the text. 8-)
WFM WinME 8-8 trunk. Try a newer build.

I still get the bug, even with a nightly (2002081004).
Still unable to reproduce both on 2002080718/win98se and 2002080614/winXP. Might be something on your system. * Did you try a clean reinstall and/or new profile? * Try changing fonts in Preferences->Appearance->Fonts. Might be corrupted font file (height of the character reported improperly) * Try switching encodings in View->Character Coding. What are the regional settings for your windows?
I do not get the bug with the exact same build, on the exact same WinXP, on a different computer.
* switching profile to default: I still get the bug * changing fonts (to Georgia, the default to sans-serif): I still get the bug * changing charset: The bug disappears if I use UTF-8, us-ascii, Shift_JIS (and probably others). It does not if I use Latin1 or Latin9 (ISO-8859-1/15).
Alas, it's impossible to fix the bug we're unable to reproduce. Considering comment 8, it's local configuration problem. :( This bug remains open until either somebody can find out more information, or 2 more people confirm WORKSFORME.
Alias: acute
Given that we got yet another report about the same acute problem, I mark this as NEW. Still need steps to reproduce though. ==> NEW
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW

It works! The bug is gone! I've been on holiday for 2 weeks. I've just come back, turned my computer on, tried the test page, and it works! still using build 2002081004, charset ISO-8859-1, I haven't changed anything... Maybe my computer just needed some rest :-) -> works for me... but leaving as -> new because of comment 11.
It now works for me, too. I rebooted for the first time in ages. Looks like this is what is needed...
Marking WFM as per comment 13 and 14 Reason: original reporters say that the bug is gone.
