User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

When a series of identical tables is created (seperated by <BR>), with
table cellspacing=0 and a stylesheet with a 1pixel border, every third table
renders the  border 1 pixel away from the header.  See link for example.

It can start with any of the first three tables and then repeats on every third
table.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to given URL
2. Look at every third table.

Actual Results:  
Every third table hasa gap in the heading cell between the cell and the border.

Expected Results:  
No gap between the cell and the border.

Witnessed under build 2003021008 under Windows 2000 Server, build 2003021008
under Windows XP, Version 1.2.1 under Windows 2000 pro.

Reproduced with any theme.

Layout.  Looks like rounding issues (for me it's not every third table but 2 out
of every 6).

I tested in Linux Mandrake 8.2 with [Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210].

It was not every third table, but 3 tables in about 40 on the test page.

Attachment: Demonstrates problem with different-sized tables

I found that this works not only with identical tables but with any table
width. The html I attached uses some values I randomly entered, and for me the
gap still shows above every third header.

Both the URL and the testcase work for me on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
