User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4

If a p element has a :first-line style, the :hover style will only be applied to the first a / link. Interestingly enough, I found a page online that exhibits the same effect while attempting to show an old Gecko bug (multiplying links--this page is linked, above) which does not show up in Firefox.

I found the bug using an external stylesheet, while the example page uses embedded styles.

This error does not happen in IE 6 or 7.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set p:first-line and p a:hover style declarations.
2.Create a p with more than one contained a link.
3.Hover over the element's links.
Actual Results:  
Links subsequent to the first in an element will not exhibit :hover styles.

Expected Results:  
All links should exhibit :hover styles.

Could you attach a minimized testcase?

Broken in 2.0.0.4, but works fine in a trunk build.

Sorry it's late. Please review it again.

Should I not worry, btw, if it's just 2.0.0.4? I'm just a wee html/css guy, and am trying to help, but am brand new to this. Seems that, since that's the latest release, it should still be addressed, though.

At this point, it really doesn't matter that it's not working in 2.0.0.4... the chances of us taking a fix for something like this on that branch are basically nil.
