175880 - Row heights don't work when using spacer images

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 22274

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Bobby Nations]

The browser displays the following code as 1 character high rather than 3 pixels.

<tr height="3"><td height="3"><img border="0" src="clear.gif" height="3"></td></tr>

I've seen it happen in Mozilla 1.0/Linux and Galeon 1.2.5/Linux.  Rather than a
nice, thin spacer row, I get a big fat spacer row.  the clear.gif file is 1x1
pixels and transparent.

Attachment: testcase using image

1.0 exhibits the bug, but 1.0.1 and current trunk are fine.  please try a
recent build

please ensure that your bugs exist with recent builds before reporting them.

We munged our standards mode to deal with this... the "buggy" rendering is in
fact correct; all that changed is that that doctype no longer triggers full
standards mode.

The url field of bug 22274 has a link to a nice article that explains what's up.
