User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:2.0b1) Gecko/20100630 Firefox/3.5.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:2.0b1) Gecko/20100630 Firefox/3.5.2

When elements are rotated within inline blocks, the element is rotated falsely as of firefox4, this works correctly in firefox3.6 and firefox 3.5.

See attached test-case.

Note highlighting the text in the test case will cause a correct display, but reverts to buggy display when the window looses focus.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put at least two elements with inline-block next to each other.
2. Rotate contents (an inline element).
Actual Results:  
inline element's box is rotated, but the characters remain horizontal, nice effect, but behavior is more akin to writing-mode, albeit for any angle.

Expected Results:  
inline element is rotated along with the individual characters rotated as well, refer to previous versions of firefox for correct rendering.

When highlighting the text, I can get the text to appear as it should, both with the mouse (though this is trial and error and will take several attempts), and also through the find (ctrl+f) method.

This also occurs when a hover is placed on the span element, e.g. changing text color, when the window looses focus (simply by pressing alt+tab), the element is repainted falsely.
