59227 - in table cell, extra vertical space between (nested) table and image

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 22274

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[ekrock's old account (dead)]

Using N6 11/1 on WinNT 4.0 SP6.

View above URL.

Expected: In top left cell of main white table, no vertical space between image
and nested table "Table 1". IE 5.5 displays this without the vertical space.

Actual: There's a vertical space of about 1 pixel between image and nested table
"Table 1".

Incidentally, it's also claimed that on the same page, the nested tables (1, 2,
3) should be centered. Tables 1,2 are not centered in N6. My theory: (a) He's
using the Transitional XHTML DOCTYPE with the explicit URI. (b) That's turning
off the recognition of presentational hints in N6 upon which he's relying to
center the tables. (c) Therefore N6's behavior is spec. Yes?

The 1 pixel of vertical space is a block issue (inside the table cell), and I'm 
not sure if it is a bug or not. Even in Quirks mode, we are different than 
Nav4.x and IE, and don't have any vertical space in tables 1,2,3.

Reassigning to Buster.

I filed bug 59291 to cover the lack of center alignment on tables 1,2. It is 
only a bug in quirks mode.

Netscape's standard compliance QA team reorganised itself once again, so taking 
remaining non-tables style bugs. Sorry about the spam. I tried to get this done 
directly at the database level, but apparently that is "not easy because of the 
shadow db", "plus it screws up the audit trail", so no can do...

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

setting img { display: block } kills the space.  the space is there because the
image is an inline element and the space is space for descenders.

Marking duplicate of "[INLINE] space for descenders under image elements"
