Details

The following renders to low in the div compared to Nav4.5 and IE5. The test case was derived from bug 2050 and was caught by the table regression test bug2050.html. <html><body> <DIV style="border: 1px solid black;"> <dl> <FONT>Baz</FONT> <DD>foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo</DD> </dl> </div> </body></html>
Summary: {compat} excessive vertical whitespace caused by DL/FONT
Whiteboard: (py8ieh:will investigate)
Does this bug also occur *without* the <FONT> element? If so, then it is probably caused by ua.css' margins on most elements, in which case (after examining the problem closer) the bug will be reassigned to the Style System. However, if the <font> is the cause (very likely) then this is a dup of bug 991.

This is not a bug. According to ua.css, DLs have 1em margins top and bottom. Mozilla is taking this into account and drawing 1em margins on the DL. Marking this bug as INVALID.
