I experience this "vertical line" problem quite a bit. It only
happens on my Mac - using Firefox.
I think the original problem was _horizontal lines_ on backgrounds on a
vertically aligned image-gallery.
The fix was 'display: table;' I think, but that's a case by case
solution and _not_ a perfect fix.
It's something to do with Firefox, because it doesn't seem to happen
in any other browser.
Each browser-engine has its own set of bugs and flaws. At least some
10,000 weak points in each of the best ones, not to mention the various
bug-combinations. No browsers are at more than some 70% standard-support
yet.
Also, I don't recommend Firefox for the Mac. For the PC, it's great.
The Mac version has issues.
File some bug reports on those issues, so they may be fixed. That's the
only way to promote standard-compliance in browsers. Also: check your
Mac, as I usually see the same issues on both platforms.
Our influence on which browser the regular web-surfer should use is
highly limited, so we better learn how to make our designs work as well
as they can in as many browsers as we can -- bugs or not.
My recommendation is: spoon-feed all browsers with standard details, as
if no browser knows anything. Most bugs are brought under control when
such a meal is digested, and a large percentage of the remaining are
"human bugs". Those are the fun part in web design. :-)
