DESCRIPTION: According to CSS2, section 5.12.2, "Punctuation (i.e, characters defined in Unicode [UNICODE] in the "open" (Ps), "close" (Pe), and "other" (Po) punctuation classes), that precedes the first letter should be included" in the first-letter pseudo-element. Currently this seems to be happening only for quotation marks. What really needs to happen is access of some Unicode character database (which hopefully exists in some i18n code somewhere). However, there are some problems with this. In particular, if there is a start-tag somewhere in the middle of the "first letter" (including the punctuation), I'm not sure what to do, since I don't see a way to keep a tree structure (which is clearly necessary). I just suggested on www-style that in such a case, the first-letter should not be drawn. See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2000Jan/0017.html for my post and links to any replies. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: * load attached test case ACTUAL RESULTS: * In cases 1 and 5, only the first character is large and red. * In case 2, correctly, the first two characters are large and red. * In cases 3 and 4 I'm not seeing the initial characters because of bug [I can't find the number. I hope it's filed], and nothing is large and red. * In case 6, the first two characters are large and red. EXPECTED RESULTS: * In cases 1-4, the first two characters should be large and red. * Case 5 is undefined, as I mentioned above. * In case 6, (I think!!) the first 4 characters should be large and red. DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON: * Linux, mozilla, 2000-01-10-08-M13 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Alan Flavell pointed this bug out to me.

Migrating from {css1} to css1 keyword. The {css1}, {css2}, {css3} and {css-moz} radars should now be considered deprecated in favour of keywords. I am *really* sorry about the spam...

mine! mine mine mine! all mine! whoo-hoo!

moving all buster m15 bugs to m16.

first-letter bug fixes will be post beta

redistributing bugs across future milestones, sorry for the spam

This bug has been marked "future" because we have determined that it is not critical for netscape6.0. If you feel this is an error, or if it blocks your work in some way -- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

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.

Build reassigning Buster's bugs to Marc.

Confirmed using FizzillaCFM/2002070913. Cases 1, 3, 4, and 5 only apply the first-letter style to the first, punctuation character. In case 2 it's applied to both the inch mark and the capital T. In case 6 it's applied to the inch and foot marks, but not the capital T. Setting All/All.

Should this be marked as a duplicate of Bug 54467? It is the exact same bug, and although was opened later, it has a patch attached (which appears to be stalled awaiting benchmark tests).

*** Bug 187000 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Using FizzillaMach/2002122307, it appears bug 54467's fix has addressed some of the tests in attachment 1 [details] [diff] [review], but not all. Specifically, examples 1 and 4 now work correctly, but examples 3, 5, and 6 still don't.

Rather, make that attachment 4119 [details].)

Isn't this bug related (or even overlapping) bug 52109, bug 92176 and bug 54467 ?

the fix for bug 54467 had been broken between Mozilla 1.3.1 and 1.4. it might be a regression by Bug 180266.

There are some relevant patches on bug 45091 (and bug 328111).

Fixed by new text frame All the cases in the testcase currently work except for the undefined case 5.
