fails

Additional Info:

Here is a reduced scenario of the bug.

In style for html:before  specifying both "content" and "display: table-caption" makes the div in the body invisible. Removing one of this makes the div visible.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> 
<html> 
 <head> 
  <style type="text/css"> 
	html:before {content: "This text should appear before the Div to Test-Style"; display: table-caption;}
	head, body { display: table-row; }
	.bl { background: url(support/test-bl.png); }
	[title="tl"] { background: url(support/test-tl.png); }

  </style> 

 </head> 
 <body> 
  <div class="bl">Div to Test-Style: Before HTML </div>

 </body> 
</html>

Safari 15.5 matches other browsers

I am unable to reproduce this bug based on attached test case in Comment 01 using Safari 15.5 on macOS 12.4.

It matches with other browsers as shown in the attached screenshot. I think this was resolved along the way and can now be marked as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED". Thanks!

Further - based on Comment 01, I changed the reduction into following JSFiddle:

It also behave similar across all browser (but no screenshot attached). Thanks!
