Changes in how G-Mail (and others)...

I was about to start work on a new campaign when I noticed some issues with how my previous campaigns appear in Chrome, G-mail (and Outlook/Hotmail - not that anyone uses those clients!)

For starters, here is the template that I work off of:
http://www.ogracing.com/images/newslett … 90415.html

If I open this in Chrome, it looks like this: https://gyazo.com/6e75591256c2ec26040edecfe8ff84e9
Notice the alignment issues. The e-mail should looks like this (Explorer): https://gyazo.com/0ec4e2e64c1c3a29f72f80cf6c39d521

I'm going to do some more testing when I get back from lunch. However, I wanted to throw this out there in case anyone else has seen something similar.

For the record, I've been using the above template successfully since I first got this awesome RED program (April-ish?) I'm just wondering if this is a local glitch to how my Chrome browser and/or G-mail is behaving before I start making major revisions to the e-mail. As a final thought, RED (version 1.2, Build 953) is rendering the design as originally intended: https://gyazo.com/2f19414adf27a17c63ae61bb4b8c33f7

Thanks Scott! That definitely solved the issue. Sorry that I didn't catch that other thread; I browsed a little, but apparently not closely enough!

Do you know if this was caused a recent change in how Chrome/Google renders html? I'm hoping that it's something that only recently happened, and not that I've been sending out batches of e-mails that looked like that (and that I've been lazy on the testing of!)

From what we can tell, this just happened pretty recently (within the last 1-3 builds of Chrome).
