The line underneath a level 2 heading has recently started to cut through adjacent tables, as may be seen at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table: the line under 'Introduction' cuts through the rable on the right. The problems seems to affect lines associated with the heading only: when a simple horizontal line is created, this behaves properly, and stops short of the table. (See the test example created at: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arconciel&oldid=65204707) Bug report 6035: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6035 may be related.
Horizontal rules are unrelated to the line under <h2>s, which is a border. The border's width is determined by the width of the <h2>, which takes up the full width of the page. The border is, of course, visible through the table, since the table's background-color is transparent. This did change recently, when the default setting for tables changed from white to the default default, namely transparent. I've now specified that the table should be white, as it was presumably intended to be. Infobox-like tables should generally have their background specified, since transparency is undesirable for them. Regardless, this isn't so much a software bug as a content bug: bad CSS will produce bad results. I'll mark this as INVALID.
