Others get destroyed. Reproduced in Chrome and Safari (both latest): http://jsfiddle.net/ickata/s2Vz7/1/ In Chrome, if I replace <span> with <b> it works perfectly: http://jsfiddle.net/ickata/s2Vz7/2/ unless I add font-weight: normal to the <b> elements: http://jsfiddle.net/ickata/s2Vz7/3/ Same situation with <i> element: http://jsfiddle.net/ickata/s2Vz7/4/ In Safari both don't work properly - using <b> will work if I remove the display: inline-block property: http://jsfiddle.net/s2Vz7/5/ Video: http://ge.tt/100kPOK1/v/0
