Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 385615

(Core :: Layout: Floats, defect)

Description

During using float for an element what has :first-letter selector definition, the element gets an unwanted padding at right side

During using zoom Ctrl+ , the weird padding goes away, after restoring or using Ctrl- it won't come back

Maybe this bug related to Bug 13610 . If yes, redirect, please.
similarities: first-letter selector usage, weird padding
difference: the element is floated (not the first-letter)

btw, addig float:left to :first-letter as well, the weird padding goes away at right side of the whole element, but comes in at bottom of floated letter

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. crate an element with some text without padding
2. add float:left to the element
3. add :first-letter {font-weight:bold;} to the element.
4. weird padding goes in at right side of the element
Actual Results:  
4. weird padding goes in at right side of the element

Expected Results:  
it should be shown without any padding, if padding value is zero, or correct padding value if that is defined.

This sounds like bug 385615

This sample for the floated first-letter problem as I marked before, but this one really rather fits to Bug 13610 . Redirect, please, if nessesary.

The simply floated first letter can fit to the word. Really it's not a padding problem, it just fits to the top instead of text-bottom

or text-top? Well then, it should look same as not floated if the font-size is same.

Bug 415506.

I'll dupe this to bug 385615, as that is what your original test case is about (font metrics of :first-letter affecting the width of the floated parent).
