Description

[Joseph Edward Miele]

Try the URL listed above or any other discussion board at StarFourms using
Netscape Communicator 4.7 and then using Mozilla Build ID 2000022916. When using
Communicator 4.7, the subject lines on the discussion boards appear one directly
below the other. When using Mozilla, the subject lines appear to be double spaced.

This problem is NOT platform Specific. It occurs on Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0
Windows 2000 and Linux.b

The URL given 404s on me, and I can't navigate the site as it's international 
and I don't have the correct fonts.

Also, the build used is almost a month old. [e-mail] - could you 
please download a more recent nightly build and see if you can reproduce this 
behaviour? If you can, could you update this bug with a new URL and the build ID 
you used?

Thanks :-)

OK, the URL has been corrected. I did a little cut and paste to make sure I 
didn't mess it up again. Sorry about that. 

I have just tried out Build ID 2000032309 and it exhibits the same double 
spacing behavior.

Thank you for your time. :-)

Using 20000324. The problem lies with a couple of <UL>s inside a <DL>, which is 
a slightly strange HTML construct :-). Mozilla inserts more space than Navigator 
does. This is probably wrong, notwithstanding HTML oddness.

Attaching testcase, moving to Style System, changing OS to All.

Gerv- Thanks for the investigation.

This bug is very similar to bug 33300. Changed title to "Quirk: UL inside DL has 
no margins" from "Double spacing under Mozilla, not under Communicator 4.7". I'm 
going to attach another testcase similar to the one we have in 33300.

Marking dependency on bug 38026 ("Need to have a Standard and NavQuirks Style 
sheets") as it will be very easy to fix once we have the Quirks style sheet.

Reassigned to Marc.
