1351595 - ::first-line has no effect when the first child is a block

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 317081

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Oriol Brufau [:Oriol]]

Attachment: testcase

Consider this code:

    <style>
    div::first-line {
      color: green;
    }
    </style>
    <DIV><P>This line...</P></DIV>


The text remains black, unaffected by ::first-line.

This is wrong, https://drafts.csswg.org/css-pseudo-4/#first-text-line says

> For example, the first line of the DIV in <DIV><P>This line...</P></DIV>
> is the first line of the P (assuming that both P and DIV are blocks).

The text is green both on Chrome and Edge.
