(Note, this is not a double margin bug. I'm saying this double-vertical-padding bug then Unless there is no more clever / documented name for this?)
Just when I thought I saw all the false IE CSS bugs, I have done a simple test The case that continues to mislead me looks down the page and works great in FF, Opera, et al though, IE 6 and IE7 seems to be confused. I will let the document given below speak for itself.
Edit: I have put it at the following URL:
Open it in IE and compare it again in FF.
My question is: What is this bug called? (Did I miss it somewhere? Has it been found?) I am familiar with the 3px jog bug and double- (horizontal) -margin bugs and many other float-related bugs ... but the vertical padding is being repeated ? (And to the wrong place, to boot.)
