User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Creating a margin:0px body page, align the contente of a DIV to the right, and
then open a SPAN tag with some text and ending with a SPACE, the text is aligned
to the right only to the last non-space char, the SPACE that ends the SPAN tag
is rendered "outside" the margin, creating a forced scrollbar. This doesn't
happen if the space is a &nbsp.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a normal html page.
2.put a margin:0px css in the body
3.the create this situation:
<div style="text-align:right;"><span>bug </span></div>

Actual Results:  
The "bug" word is aligned to the right, but it doesn't align the SPACE, the
space is rendered outside of the align, so firefox "force" the scroll bar to
make it possible to view the space.

Expected Results:  
Align the text inside the <span> tag to the right, counting the very last char
of that text.

I reproduced this on a branch build, but it WFM on the trunk:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041031 Firefox/0.9.1+

Can't find the duplicate, so WORKSFORME.

Well, Firefox 1.0 It's out, and the same thing happens. One space alone
shouldn't be ignored, right? Well, in this align thing the space is ignored, and
then taken in account. But there's also other situations where the SPACE is ignored.
<p style="border: thin black solid; width:200px;"></p>
OR
<p style="border: thin black solid; width:200px;"> </p>
Gives the same thing, a solid 200px line (like a 2px <hr>) 
<p style="border: thin black solid; width:200px;">&nbsp</p>
Outputs a textline with a border and a space on it, as it should also happen
(IMO) with <p> </p> 

I've updated the URL with this examples. And notices another thing, that SPACE
that isn't aligned, gets the text-size of the parent DIV, but it doesn't get the
Background-Color.

Firefox 1.0 is off the 1.7 branch.  Please test trunk builds for layout bugs,
since that's where layout bugs would be fixed.  Layout work on branch is done
except for crash fixes, basically.

This worksforme on trunk, and marking so.
