281191 - Firefox renders an unwanted 5 pixel bottom margin to all images displayed in their default inline manner.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 22274

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dan Clem]

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

In the example at http://www.danclem.com/firefox/firefox1.htm, there is an
unwanted 5 pixel gap below the image. It appears that images that are displayed
in the default inline manner have a built-in and unwanted 5 pixel bottom margin.
This occurs during Standards compliance mode only, not in Quirks mode.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.danclem.com/firefox/firefox1.htm.
2. Or in general, put any image inside any container such as a DIV tag or a TD
table cell. Put a border around the container. You'll see an uncalled for 5
pixel bottom margin.

Actual Results:  
I got an unwanted margin beneath the pretty picture of my chili peppers.

Expected Results:  
I expected there to be no margin.

I spent a solid half hour looking through the bug list. Good thing it wasn't a
