277193 - Display of image with HREF (<a>-tag) is "shifted"

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[phil_subscriptions]

Using HTML and CSS2.

The following is not displayed properly in Firefox:

An <img> tag, contained within a <a> tag, contained within a table, the image 
with reference is presented partially outside the table cell.

This works with IE6.0

I created a test page at http://www.abstruse.be/test/testpage.html to 
demonstrate and explain the problem.

Bug 211382 also notes images placed higher when an anchor used

This is actually the correct rendering -- the <a> is an inline, so it gets space
below the baseline for descenders.  The bottom of the image is placed on the
baseline, and the table cell height is at least the height of the <a> (which
does NOT depend on the height of the image per CSS, but DOES depend on it in IE).
