This page was looking good until 1.2b. Here, a sort of immense <BR> separate the
beginning of article from the author. It is so big that you can not scroll to
the end of page (it would be too long) so take the shortcut crtl-end.

I've got a testcase. See below.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Url
2. scroll by down key of wheel mouse (large "blank" area)
3. Ctrl-end to get to the end to see the rest of the page

Actual Results:  
Large "blank" aera (only background shown).

Expected Results:  
No "blank" aera should appear.

I think it is a regression bug because in last release I use (1.2b), it
displayed correctly.

Attachment: Simple testcase with an image with align=left

reload / shift-reload to see / remove the problem.
Removing the align=left in the <img> tag solve the problem.
Much amazing : removing the bracket "[" solve it as well !

neither the test case nor the URI show large white space for me.

WinXP, SP1, build 2002112405.  Maybe I need something more recent.

Seems to work on MacOS X too (Jaguar 10.2.2 and Mozilla 1.2)
Anyone confirming this ?
I'm using windows 2000 SP2 (5.00.2195) to be precise.

I'm unable to reproduce this on a Linux trunk build from a few days ago, both
with and without the bug described in bug 182500 (which was a major bug in the
1.2 release).

I've just upraded my OS to windows 2000 SP3.
The bug no longer appears !
The world of windows is really impenetrable, isn't it ?
