IE8 RTW Bug Test - Descender space of inline box containing an IMG (with vertical-align:baseline, and no sibling line boxes containing text) nested in an A element, is drawn only on :hover

Regression - Not present in IE 7

Transitional Doctype only

This test case demonstrates the incorrect behaviour of IE8 RTW, where the descender space of an inline box containing an IMG (with vertical-align:baseline, and no sibling line boxes containing text) nested in an A element, is created on :hover only. This issue is especially noticeable when subsequent page content is moved down after the :hover reflow. If anything, the descender space should be drawn when the document is initiailly loaded.

Hover over the IMG below in IE8 RTW.

Firefox 3, Opera 9.5, & Safari 3 don't render descender space at all in this situation.
