When the text in the table wraps, it inserts pages worth of blank space between
the two lines.  This only happens in the example page when the text is preceded by:

· 

and surrounded by a span tag specifying a defined class:
<span class="pn-normal"></span>

I think this just started in 1.2 beta.  At least it renders correctly in 1.2 alpha.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View pages specified above

Actual Results:  
pages worth of space between lines of text.

Expected Results:  
no space between lines

I believe that there are some configuration specific issues.  I can't replicate
this on another machine.
