To verify that I am not going crazy (yet), I just installed the older 3.6 version of Firefox. It displays the images as expected, without underlined whitespaces.
I tried specifying several different doctypes (4.01 strict, html5), but Firefox 8 won't ignore the whitespace. The specs say it should ignore those following a start tag and those preceding an end tag. Firefox 8 does that correctly for the a tag if it contains (only) text: no extra space is underlined. But it fails if an img is the content. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of expected display (as Firefox 3.6 e.a. did)" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/893827/+attachment/2605548/+files/correct_in_3.6.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/893827 Title: whitespace after an img tag within an a tag is underlined Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The code below renders with an underlined whitespace after the first and second image but not after the last image. The image links should be displayed without underlined whitespace, as is the case when no whitespace is added in the source code.
