Steve, I'm setting this to m16

Could this have something to do with BR frames being 1px wide?

Attachment: simplified testcase, I think

Attachment: same testcase in compatibility mode (previous one was strict mode)

Well, this may well have something to do with the hack that BR frames are 1 twip
wide, and with the recent inline box model changes, it *may* now only affect
strict mode.  (I'm not sure.  I'd have to think about it for a while...)

Anyway, I think that 1 twip hack has to go away, but that may require carefully
researching the bugs for which it was created, although I think they're
mentioned in the source.

This bug has been marked "future" because we have determined that it is not 
critical for netscape6.0. 
If you feel this is an error, or if it blocks your work in some way -- please 
attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

Upon managerial request, adding the "testcase" keyword to 84 open layout bugs that
do not have the "testcase" keyword and yet have an attachement with the word
"test" in the description field. Apologies for any mistakes.

This is a very annoying bug IMHO. Trying to do graphical layout using
tables and images like in
http://www.ai.univie.ac.at/~johann/moztest/moztest02.html fails.
Mozilla seems to insert extra space after each row, while other
browsers dont.
(unless in compatibility mode which we all try to avoid, no?)
Is there a workaround?

See bug 22274 for the problem you mentioned.

This bug seems to be fixed.  It should probably be marked WORKSFORME.

David, if the bug is fixed, is what goes wrong with
http://www.ai.univie.ac.at/~johann/moztest/moztest02.html a different bug then?
