83479 - :first-line not following spec restrictions

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect, P5)

Description

[Tim Altman]

Noted in Mozilla 0.9.  Mozilla will style margin properties in :first-line rules, ignoring the restrictions in the spec. (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html#first-line-pseudo).  This is a spec. violation.  Test case coming.

WFM, yesterday's Linux CVS build (all 3 items have the same margin).  Reporter,
do you still see the problem?

Comment 3

[Pierre Saslawsky]

I'm going to attach a better testcase.

Ian & DBaron: I'm marking this Future even though it is a standard compliance 
issue.  Say so of you disagree.

In fact, WONTFIX would be more appropriate.

Comment 6

[Pierre Saslawsky]

Apparently, I shouldn't mark WontFix bugs that I would have otherwise marked 
Later.  Reopening...

Sorry for not replying sooner.  Using 0.9.4, I still see the problem, per the
new testcase Pierre uploaded.  All three items should be the same in my testcase
(the first), they shouldn't have a margin, though.

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

This is a valid bug. Sending to Layout. There is some argument that the
restrictions in the spec are not supposed to be normative, but...

This is mostly fixed now that bug 103189 has landed....

WFM, 2003-07-08-05 trunk Linux.
I see no problem with the margins. The only problem I can see is that in
"Testcase v2" the word "Guide" is blue even though it's not part of the first
line.  Resizing the window slightly makes it display correctly.
I believe that is a separate bug though, maybe we should spawn it off and
resolve this bug as WFM?

Agreed.  Original bug is WFM in Firebird 0.6 (Mozilla 1.4b).
