The first and second paragraph is ok. But the third paragraph 'A ... is display
not from the beginning of the line.

I will report a sperate bug about the punctuation mark and :first-letter in
other bug.

See CSS2 Page 67 (PDF version) or section 5.12.2 The :first-letter
pseudo-element for detail. This is also in CSS1.

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

Upon managerial request, adding the "testcase" keyword to 84 open layout bugs that
do not have the "testcase" keyword and yet have an attachement with the word
"test" in the description field. Apologies for any mistakes.

:first-letter seems not to support separate text-decoration at all. Inherests
it, even if unwanted, but can't be separately applied to :first-letter itself.
Tested in Win-95 only.

Comment 12

[Shanjian Li]

The reported problem is not seen on my current windows build. But I saw another problem with 
the attached testcase. The italic style of first-letter overlapped with normal text. I am not 
sure if we already have one bug for that. 

Comment 13

[Frank Tang]

I cannot reproduce the origional problem , same as shanjian. Mark this bug as 
FIXED.

[Chris Petersen]

Marking verified per last comments.

This problem still occurs in Mozilla 1.3b... at least as I understand the bug.
If your browser window is wide enough for each paragraph to fit on one line,
then starting with the third paragraph, each successive paragraph is indented
further and further toward the right. By the time you get to the last paragraph,
the indent is about 3 inches.

I'll attach a screencap in a moment.

Attachment: Screen cap showing improper indentation/wrapping

Note that if the paragraphs are longer or if your browser window is narrower
(so that each paragraph has at least two lines), the paragraphs move back to
the left where they belong.
