Bug in rendering CSS ::first-line ?

Reiner Makohl

Firefox produces erroneous output in connection with ::first-line if individual words in a Hebrew character set are used in the same html-doc (at any position).

In order not to have to describe it in a lengthy way, I have included an html example in which the different results can be easily generated and observed.

The essential effect: In certain situations Firefox doubles the space needed for a character when rendering the output. This causes the following text to be shifted to the right and possibly even beyond the boundary of a div box.

Am I doing something wrong? In other browsers it works perfectly!

Example for testing : example test-first-line.html

Please use the source code to modify and test.

Best regards Reiner

Thank you for confirming this problem.

I have now reported this as a bug and hope that a solution can be offered soon.

In my web site many hundreds of pages are affected by this and I would like to finally get rid of the previous, quite bad bypass.

Thanks!
