That's odd, because I've just checked it with Faststone Capture, and it's 50px high - it uses a 50px high background image, and there would be a gap if it was greater than 50px high. Perhaps that was mid-editing, when I was changing the padding and margins.

Is there a bug in IE8 to do with margin or padding? You mentioned it in your previous post. (I have another problem with IE8, and will post that in a separate thread.)
