187000 - :first-letter pseudo element does not catch punctuation

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 23605

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

I have a paragraph which starts with unicode left double quote and a letter, as
follows:

<P CLASS=huge><B>“<BIG>S</BIG><SMALL>IR,” CAPTAIN NEMO

The style "huge" is defined as follows:

.huge:first-letter {
    text-indent: 0;
    font-size: 200%;
    float: left
}

As the css2 spec says,

 Punctuation (i.e, characters defined in Unicode [UNICODE] in the "open" (Ps),
"close" (Pe), and "other" (Po) punctuation classes), that precedes the first
letter should be included, as in:

Quotes that precede the first letter should be included.

(see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html#first-letter)

However, in my example, :first-letter catches just the punctuation “ , not the
letter S. There for just the punctionation gets to be displayed in the 200%
sized font.
