Extra spacing in button
(deleted), image/png
Details 
Go to the above URL using a current trunk build of Mozilla.  The second button 
shown is a multiline button that contains some markup.  The word "markup"
is bright red.

Even though there is ample whitespace in the markup, all of the spaces are 
being eaten, both those before and after the <html:span> that introduces the 
red color.

The XML content sink does this correctly, and you can verify this by visiting

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xul/tests/buttons.xml

The above XML file is exactly the same as the XUL file, but it renders 
correctly.

Fixing this could result in many more objects in the content model, I suppose, 
but the fact that the whitespace is stripped out does not seem correct to me.

An idea might be to just make the content sink smart about the known block 
tags while continuing to strip whitespace from all the other XUL tags.  

The block tags in XUL include <html> (now deprecated but you could support it 
anyway), <description>, and <label>.  Anything in the HTML namespace could 
also be special-cased.

Ok, mine.

Using 2001101008 I noticed that the when the button wraps, the buttons looks
like this:

A long label that contains
markup and that wraps to
multiple lines.

However, what I noticed was that there is alot of extra spacing within the
button on the right side.  I have made an attachment showing this effect.  I
don't really think this seems correct.
