Details

I've noticed that when you "first-letter" style a word, the first letter can be
split from the rest of the word on a word wrap.

I don't know what, if anything, the CSS spec says on this, but to me it seems
wrong.

Test case:

<html>
  <head>
    <style type="text/css">
      p:first-letter { font-size: 1000% }
    </style>
   </head>
   <body>
      <p>Testing Testing 1 2 3</p>
   </body>
</html>

View this and reduce the size of the window, so the word wraps.

Expected behaviour:  Either bring up a horizontal scrollbar, or wrap the word so
that as much as possible fits in, rather than wrapping the entire rest of the
word.
