Steps to reproduce:

In a university protected page the following code is wrong displayed on firefox on an Ubuntu 24.04 version. Using Chrome on the same computer it appears correct.
</li><li class="li-itemize"><span style="font-weight:bold">i(E)I</span> → <span style="font-weight:bold">I</span>  no es pot aplicar si ve seguida de <span style="font-weight:bold">e</span>

Actual results:

Firefox displays:
I(E)I → I  no es pot aplicar si ve seguida de e

Expected results:

It should appear:
i(E)I → I  no es pot aplicar si ve seguida de e

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Layout: Text and Fonts' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Thanks for filing!

Understand that the page contains sensitive information, but is it possible to share a more complete test case? Merely using that snippet generates the expected result:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<ul><li class="li-itemize"><span style="font-weight:bold">i(E)I</span> → <span style="font-weight:bold">I</span>  no es pot aplicar si ve seguida de <span style="font-weight:bold">e</span></ul>

Specfically would be curious about what font is being used for the span containing "i(E)I."

Specfically would be curious about what font is being used for the span containing "i(E)I."

To assist in answering this^ question from David: when you're seeing the issue locally, you can check which font is being used for a particular element by following the steps 1/2/3/4 in bug 1850830 comment 2 (using DevTools "font" pane).

It seems likely that either this is an issue with a specific font, or perhaps there's more styling information (such as text-transform) involved, but without seeing more of the problem page, it's hard to investigate further.

Marti, can you confirm what font is being used for this text, as David asked above? We've not been able to reproduce the problem just with the fragment of code given, so to understand what's happening, we'll need more details.

I would also be curious whether you see the same problem if you view the page on a different computer, perhaps with a different operating system (Windows or macOS)?

A needinfo is requested from the reporter, however, the reporter is inactive on Bugzilla. Given that the bug is still UNCONFIRMED, closing the bug as incomplete.
