Extra whitespace in beginning of HTML source for Specialpages and Allmessages causes bad display

Description

Since some time the both pages [[w:fr:Special:Specialpages]] and [[w:fr:Special:Allmessages]]
have a problem of presentation in Opera and Internet Explorer (not Firefox). It is like if the
page is zoomed.

I have made some try and when I remove the first white line at the begin of the source code of
the page, it works. The problem occurs only in the french-speaking wikis, although the first
white line is present in all wikis.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
OS: Windows XP
Platform: PC
URL: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Specialpages

Confirmed on the French Wikipedia under Internet Explorer 7, but I can't
reproduce this on a vanilla install of trunk selecting the French language.

I'm inclined to suspect:

  • an extension installed on those wikis that's not elsewhere
  • a local JavaScript customisation causing problems

Will see if I can pinpoint this.

The initial space isn't local to frwiki. Compare to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Specialpages, for instance. The strange
display is probably a result of the *interaction* between Opera and IE
displaying in quirks mode (which Firefox does not) and local stylesheets.
Obviously it's the first that should be fixed, not the second.

Fixed in r18830; extra whitespace on an extension file which gets loaded during
special page lists.
