You can see the effect at http://www.davidaspitzley.org/PotatoPatch/index.php?n=Main.WikiSandbox .  Any suggestions as to what's going on here?  Is this limited to the Marinee skin, which is the one I'm using?  I wanted to use [[<<]] to interrupt float behavior, but this makes that difficult at best.

This was also an issue with the BeeblebroxNetGila skin --
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/BeeblebroxNetGila.  That skin
appears to have been superseded by the Maguila skin --
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MaguilaSkin.  Maybe the latter is
free of this defect.  If so, maybe the means of repairing it can be
adapted to your skin.

When I used BeeblebroxNetGila, I added a table structure in the body
of the site (below the SiteHeader area and above the SiteFooter) and
added vertical-align="top" to the markup for selected cells to remedy
The Big Gap.
