Confirming in Moz 2003051508, so not a Firebird bug.

Attachment: border style in <a> tag rendered incorrectly if link is a box element

Rendered incorrectly on W98 build 20021016
Discovered problem on Debian Linux running Mozilla
Renders correctly in IE

If there is a border definition (inline or CSS) in an <a> tag, the border is 
always rendered as if the link were text, even if the link itself is larger, 
such as a flash object or image. The result is a border that is smaller than 
the actual link object.  I have attached a very simple html example that shows 
the problem.  Verified with Mozilla under both Win98 and Debian Linux.  
Probably affects all.

Mozilla's rendering is correct.  see bug 74712 comment 2

the border should not be applied to the <a>, but to the flash object.

The original testcase has the border on the OBJECT.  However, our rendering is
correct if we're displaying the EMBED inside of it rather than the OBJECT itself
(unless one thinks OBJECT should be 'inline-block', which I don't).

Attachment: sample code

mozilla 1.5 on WinNT, WinXP - renders only partial border

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
 width="611" height="611" align="" style="border: 0px solid #000;">

Border is now set on the object, marking fixed.
