9244 - Images As Links Separate Themselves From Other Images. The Gap Is A Few Pixels

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 5821

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect, P3)

Description

[loosus]

Overview Description: Any image used as a link (a href) separates itself from
surrounding images.


Steps to Reproduce:
1) Go to http://www.ign64.com/ or http://www.coastalnet.com/
2) On either site, look at the left navigational bar. The pictures are separated
by a few pixels for no apparent reason. The reason is, however, that the
pictures are links. Removing the links from the images will close the pixel gap.
3) This simple HTML will show an example as well:
<a href="/news.html"><img
src="http://media.ign.com/images/n64/n64_news_button1.gif"></a><br><a
href="/codes.html"><img
src="http://media.ign.com/images/n64/n64_codes_button1.gif"></a>


Expected Results:
Images should not be separated, even if they are links. Even with borders, they
should not have "thin air" separation.

Actual Results:
Images were separated because they were links.

Build Date & Platform Bug Found:

Excellent bug report (wouldn't you agree Eli?). As it turns out the bug you
have clearly identified is the 'infamous' bug #5821 'Nav4 vs CSS2 line box
model'. I'm marking this as a duplicate.
