23701 - ::first-letter and broken IMG elements

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

The first-line pseudo-element does not work when the first character of the line
is part of the ALT text of a broken IMG element.

When someone starts working on this ping me and I'll make a simpler test case.
For the moment, a test case for this can be found near the bottom of my huge
IMG alt text 2 test suite page:
   http://www.bath.ac.uk/%7Epy8ieh/internet/eviltests/IMGalt2.html

(Things to consider: What if there is some punctuation before the IMG element,
and the first alphanumeric character is in the alt text. See bug 23605.)

Migrating from {css1} to css1 keyword. The {css1}, {css2}, {css3} and {css-moz}
radars should now be considered deprecated in favour of keywords.
I am *really* sorry about the spam...

redistributing bugs across future milestones, sorry for the spam

This bug is marked "future" because it is not critical for RTM (Release To 
Manufacturing). If anyone believes it is critical, please explain why
in this bug. 

Comment 7

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

Agreed that this is non-critical for RTM.

Build reassigning Buster's bugs to Marc.

Confirmed using FizzillaCFM/2002070913. The ".first:first-letter" styles aren't
applied to the ALT text. Setting All/All and adding qawanted as it still wants a
simplified testcase.

Testcase using :first-line and :first-letter on image ALT text

:first-line works OK
:first-letter, not OK

[Bill Mason]

Adding KW testcase.
Is this bug really Layout and not Style System?

Attachment: Testcase2

:first-letter, :first-line and stuff have become ::first-letter and
::first-line.
With this testcase it seems to work in current trunk builds.
So I guess this has been fixed somehow, already.

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

Hmm, it seems to work offline, but online it doesn't work.

Attachment: Testcase3

When not using a src attribute for the <img> at all, the testcase works. I
think this bug might be dependent on bug 8253, as with testcase2, Mozilla is
first trying to fetch the image, which takes a while.
