Extra paragraph break after Tables within fixed-height cells

Component: General Version: SVN

Description

If a table of a fixed height is located inside a table cell of the exact same fixed height, an extra paragraph break is displayed after the table when the content is loaded into the editor in Internet Explorer. This problem does not occur in Firefox. With web pages that use a lot of tables within tables for layout, the content can look totally different within the editor as compared to in a regular browser window. The following sample HTML demonstrates the problem: 

<html>
<head>
<Title>FCKeditor Table Layout Issue</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#0000FF">
<table width="100%" height="50" border="0"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FF0000">
<tr height="50">
<td width="100%" height="50">
<table width="100%" height="50" border="0"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td bgcolor="#00FF00"
width="100%"></td></tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

This is something really difficult to fix. Actually most probably not possible to.

The problem is that the browser, which give the basic editing features to the editor, renders that space after the table so the user can place the cursor there and start typing text. It is not a case that the space is exactly height as the cursor caret.

So, in one side it could become a problem, but it you really want to place something there, it is a feature. Actually, the Firefox behavior would be considered a bug in other cases, because it almost impossible to place some text right after the green table, inside the same red cell.

More research will be done for it, but I don't see much possibilities here. Only a fix from Microsoft, but I don't see much possibilities on having something from that side.
