434248 - Apparent disregard of STYLE sheet.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Lawrence Spector]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14

The style tag P calls for a 5% text-indent. When the paragraph is more than one line, Firefox observes the indent. But when the paragraph is less than one line, Firefox does not observe the indent. Explorer does. I created the above URL to illustrate that. But it happens at all my pages at themathpage.com. 

Please view the page source. 

(I am somewhat inexperienced. Is that really a "bug"?)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the URL above.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Same result.

Expected Results:  
Indented the one-line paragraph 5%.

Yes, it is a bug.
I can reproduce the problem in Firefox 2.0.0.14 on Windows XPSP2 and Linux.
It works fine in Firefox 3.0rc1:

Please reopen the bug if you can reproduce it in 3.0rc1 or newer.  Thanks.
