If a text contains the German letter "ß" (ß) and the style property
"text-transform: uppercase;" is applied on the element, Mozilla replaces the
letter "ß" with "ss", which is typographically correct in German. Replacing one
letter through two letters causes the text to broaden, but the sourrounding box
doesnt't grow with the content. The containing text is cut off on screen
rendering. For example "<h3 style='text-transform uppercase;'>au&szlig;en</h3>"
should look like "<h3>AUSSEN</h3>", but is diplayed as "<h3>AUSSE</h3>", because
the final "N" doesn't fit in the box.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit a line containing a HTML-heading with a word containing the German
letter ß (&szlig;), for example <h3>au&szlig;en</h3>
2. apply text-transform: uppercase; to this HTML-heading
3. display the result in your browser

Actual Results:  
The text within the Heading will be cut off.

Expected Results:  
The Software should have displayed the whole content of the Heading.

<html>
<head><title>Test Case &szlig;-Bug</title><head>
<body><h3 style="text-transform: uppercase;">au&szlig;en<h3></body>
</html>
The letter isn't displayed correctly in the description. &szlig; looks similar
to the Greek letter Beta.
