21614 - Space after :first-letter pseudo-element line is larger than between other lines

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 21616

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[Christine Hoffman]

Using 12/10 build on Win 95, Mac8.5 and Linux Red Hat 6.0 (Linux2.2). Behavior
is across board (although not as pronounced in Linux)

Steps to reproduce:
Open attached file in 5.0. This is an example of :first-letter pseudo-element.

Expected result: The first letter in the paragraph should have a font size of
.5in and should be blue. Space between lines should be equal.
Actual result: The first letter has a font size of .5in and is blue, but the
space between line 1 and 2 is larger than between 2 and every line after.

I am writing this up as a bug because of what I believe a user would expect. The
descender line causes the second line to be pushed down. This creates a larger
line between lines 1 and 2 than between lines 2 and 3 and so on. I think the
user would expect to see the same space between lines 1 & 2 and every line
after.
