67227 - <hr> appears as if a <br> is placed even though it is not

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[shrirang khanzode]

seen on all platforms

steps:

1 Launch Compsoer
2 Type a few words in a new file
3 Select the text
4 From the 'formatting toolbar',select 'heading 5' from 'paragraph style'
5 Click mouse in the composer to regain focus after the last character
6 now click on the button that adds a horizontal line
7 Observe that the <hr> appears well below where it should actually be and it 
appears as if a <br> is added to create this space (which is not the case)

expected: No additional space should appear between text and the horiz line.

what you might be seeing is the margin-bottom for the heading and the margin-top 
for the hr -- but, I'll let jfrancis give the correct explanation

this is just the default margin space around headings and hr's.  It is unrelated 
to editor (ie, write the source yourself and open it in the browser and it will 
look the same way).  

probably should be marked invalid, but i'll hand over to layout in case they 
agree that the spacing is too much. i assume it could be fixed with via the user 
agent style sheet.

Yeah, the margin there is correct.
