150941 - Floating first-letter hides all further content

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 158037

(Core :: Layout, defect, P2)

Description

[Phil Housley]

Build 2002061008 Win98 SE:

Floating first-letter of an element hides all further content - This can be seen
in the "Basic Styles" viewer demo in Moz, and I'll attach a cut down version. 
If element:first-letter {float:*} is applied to an element, no further content
seems to be visible.  This occurs every time for me.

I see the problem in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1a)
Gecko/20020610.

Not displaying text is a major problem.

This might be CSS, not Layout.

Why is this marked Future by [e-mail]? Missing text on a web page
is evil. And QA set priority to P2 anyways.

This seems to have been fixed somewhere.  It works in 2002062508 for me.  Could
someone check on a non win9x platform.

The bug is still there with build 2002091110 WinXP, I was about to file a bug
about it !

Here is the code I tried that showed the bug :

p { text-align: justify; }

p.centre { text-align: center; }

p.centre:first-letter {  
	float: none !important;
 }

 p:first-letter  {  
  color: #ad8014;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 200%;
  float: left ;
 }


The paragraph with the class "centre' totally disappears apart from the first
letter.

Pascal, please attach a testcase in valid HTML. Anyways, as David suggested, bug
158037 is related. I even think it is a dupe, so please use that bug.

Sorry, could I just ask the logic of marking this bug as a dupe of one posted
after it?
