Summary CSS1: Properties for :first-letter aren't recalculated on color change
Matthias Lange
Reported Tuesday, December 20, 2005 9:17:51 PM UTC
The color of :first-letter is rendered wrong in following elements if it was changed previously through another element. The attached test case demonstrates it: in the first paragraph the first letter is rendered blue, because it is contained in a <a href ... statement. However the first letter of the second paragraph should be black but it is blue.

Confirmed. Secondly, you are not able to select the first letter when it's styled differently, this is an issue too.

(In reply to comment #2) > Confirmed. Secondly, you are not able to select the first letter when it's styled differently, this is an issue > too. What do you mean by selecting the first letter? Is this related to WebKit internals or to some CSS stuff?

Created attachment 14849 [details] First attempt I am not 100% sure this is the right approach, but I can't think of another solution atm. Cheers, Rob.

Comment on attachment 14849 [details] First attempt The unique() bit is for this purpose. Approach is basically right, but I'd rather you set the unique bit if it has first-letter (rather than adding first-letter to the canShareStyle check).
