Every time the mouse is moved over a link or out of it, then a couple of blank lines are added just below the link itself. The bug happens for the links in the central part of the page I entered in the above "URL:" field. I don't use Mozilla very much, so I dont know if this bug happens somewere else...
The page doesn't execute any DOM code when mousing over the links on the page, reassigning to layout for futher investigation. A simplified testcase would be really nice to have. Marking helpwanted.

Attached file Testcase for bug 85012 (deleted) —
The attached testcase shows the problem. The table is kept to show that a newline is actually added, but is not necessary to reproduce the problem. Removing the <a> fixes the problem. The real problem is this: br:before { content: "\a"; } and if you put a br inside the link, it will add a new line. Not sure whether this is a style system or a layout issue. /me wishes glazou was available.
