Broken in both Quirks and Standard modes, and for both LTR and RTL.

If an inline element inside a table cell is followed by a string that does not
contain any whitespace, extra padding is inserted in that cell after the text
for every   inside that string.

Workaround: changing default fonts to Times or Times New Roman fixes the bug.

Comment 6

[Andrew Schultz]

what is your default font normally?

Comment 7

[Alexey Chernyak]

The default fonts for each OS are listed here:

Comment 8

[Andrew Schultz]

ah, I see this with an XFT build

Comment 9

[Bernd]

I wonder how this can be a table issue if it appears only in XFT builds, seems
to more like a font size issue.

Comment 10

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Yeah xft-only, so over to GFX, I guess.  Do we have someone better than blizzard
to assign these to?
