Steps to reproduce: with mouse-dragging, select/highlight the word "Main" above and then, with the mouse button still down, pressed, gently move the mouse cursor down, toward bottom of page.
Actual results in MSIE 8 beta 1: the "Main
content" words move down, move vertically, shift down
and the whole light green content box becomes taller. Some kind
of guillotine graphical effect occurs, is possible. ![[Image download support must be enabled]](../../GRAPHICS/PNG/vertical-gap-unexpectedly-pops-up.png)
