Priority P1 because I guess its an organizational thing (order) inside the webkit engine which will effect other problems too. So its a good bug to understand and test the problem. I am happy that I have not to do this ;-)

Firefox 3.0.3 doesnt break the first line but calculates the width of the column if second line has the font-size of the first line. Different but not better ;-)

Not a bug. This is undefined in the specs, and I believe our behavior is reasonable. You have to determine what size something is before you can determine what the first line is. You may then have to adjust what is actually on the first line, based on the ::first-line styles, but ideally you want to minimize the amount of layout changes based on that. If the spec ever specifies what to do here, we should ensure that we match it. Until then, I'm marking this as WONTFIX.
