I've tested this problem on Windows NT SP4 and i'm currently using build 1999042908 (although I've noticed this bug in previous versions). The problem is this code: <table bgcolor="#666666" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 width="100%"> <tr> <td><img src="images/dot.gif" width=1 height=1 border=0></td> </tr> </table> Where dot.gif if a 1x1 transparent gif. So this should render a line but instead it renders as if the code was: <table bgcolor="#666666" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 width="100%"> <tr> <td><br></td> </tr> </table> This code is viewable at: http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~bmlynch/test/test.html The 3 webpages I gave you use this code. (The bug quite obvious on the news.com site.) Also, this only is a problem horizontally -- using a 1x1 gif for a vertical line is OK. Note: Changing the cellpadding, cellspacing and width doesn't make a difference.

Moving to M9.

This seems fixed to me from your test case. bmlynch@cs.uiowa.edu: could you check if this is fixed. If so, mark it RESOLVED-WORKSFORME or RESOLVED-FIXED. If it's not fixed, could you describe what it is you're seeing that's a problem - the width of the gray stripe, the space around it, or what?

Reporter said by email that he thought bug was fixed. Marking WORKSFORME.
