In the attached test case, WinIE gives all three boxes the same height. Firefox collapses the second one, and Safari collapses first and second ones.

The second one should be collapsed. WinIE is clearly crazy on the second one. I'm not sure why we would be collapsing the first one though. That seems like a bug.

Oh oops missed the dynamic part. Our behavior is clearly correct in strict mode, and this doesn't strike me as important enough to create a quirk for.

(Test Firefox and WinIE in strict mode.)

Created attachment 10485 [details] strict mode test Firefox and IE still give the same results in strict mode. I have stumbled upon this issue when the results of fast/dom/xmlhttprequest-get.xhtml changed in bug 4872 - statusText is now an empty string instead of undefined there, so one block of output suddenly collapsed.

I don't really understand why a pre would have a non-zero height when empty. Maybe Hixie has some thoughts on this one.

There doesn't seem to be a case for a bug here - WebKit's behaviour looks correct. FF should collapse the first box when it's content is removed but doesn't. IE10 doesn't even remove the content. I'm going to close. There's nothing to do here.
