1331267 - Line height doesn't affect floats

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Layout: Floats, defect)

Description

[artoix]

Attachment: firefox-line-height-bug.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.95 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I applied specific styles to :first-letter pseudo class to achieve drop-cap typography effect. To have drop-cap properly wrapped by text, I applied float:left style to it.


Actual results:

The result is that Firefox ignores line-height definition, making it impossible to properly align drop-cap with the rest of the text (see screenshot attached).


Expected results:

Line height should have effect over floating box height.
