802581 - -moz-transform: rotate : in Firebug, the <span> box rotate, but the text do not follow into it

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Block and Inline, defect)

Description

[Rical]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.2
Build ID: 20110902133214

Steps to reproduce:

I look at http://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Mod%C3%A8le:Rotation
other users of this wiki also.


Actual results:

-moz-transform: rotate is not ok. In Firebug, I see the <span> box rotated, but the text do not follow into it. <i> or <span> do the same.
Seems a regression in Firefox 16.0.1 in MacOSX 10.6.8 because it is ok in Firefox 6.0.2.

I'm not sure it's a real regression, it's maybe designed according to the specs.
CC'ing devs for confirmation if it's valid or not.

Indeed.  Transforms do not apply to <span> or <i>, per spec, unless you style them as "inline-block" or "block".

It'is OK, thanks.
