Firefox and Internet Explorer have a tendency to break lines at very specific pixel measurements

Hey, I have a situation that goes like this:

I have 4 objects with dimensions of exactly 76x76px placed within a 320px container. This setup seems to work well in Chrome as seen above. However, in Firefox and IE9, it looks like this:

even though the <ul> remains the same size

The display only appears correctly if I adjust the size of the <li>

Can anyone explain why? The image size is definitely 76x76 and Chrome shows it correctly. I really appreciate any help!

---UPDATE---

As I was about to create a jsFiddle for you all, I discovered that the simple code worked fine there on all browsers. After some troubleshooting, I identified the issue! It was caused by these two style lines combined being applied to the sidebar:

letter-spacing: 1.6px;
font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

By removing one of them, the problem was solved. It turns out that it was the combination of both styles causing the issue. Simply setting font-family: Arial; (surprisingly odd solution, right?) to the <ul> resolved the problem!

Thanks to everyone who contributed.

Answer №1

As I was preparing a jsFiddle to troubleshoot the issue, I discovered that the code worked perfectly in all browsers there. After some trial and error of removing sections of the code to pinpoint the problem, I finally found it! It turns out that the combination of these two style lines applied to the sidebar was causing the issue:

letter-spacing: 1.6px;
font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

The problem resolved when I removed one of them. It was the combination of both that caused the error. Simply setting font-family: Arial; (I know, strange solution, right?) for the <ul> element fixed everything!

Thank you to everyone who helped.
