Created attachment 203064 [details] Test case (bad) The values of the CSS properties float, vertical-align, border-*, margin-* and padding-* are not inherited. Yet `getComputedStyle(reference_element, '::first-letter')` returns reference_element's value for these properties (unless they've been explicitly overridden for the pseudo-element), when it should instead return their respective initial values.

Note that in the attached test case, in the last column of the result table ("expected"), the values `medium` could be replace by `0px`, since getComputedStyle is expected to convert any lengths in absolute pixel unit.

Created attachment 461124 [details] Safari 15.6 matches other browsers I haven't looked into Expected column of test case but Safari 15.6 matches with other browsers as can be seen in the attached screenshot based on out output of test results. I think since all browsers are aligned, this can be marked as "RESOLVED WONTFIX" or "RESOLVED INVALID". Thanks! If I am wrong, please ignore my comment.
