Description GregR 2014-02-12 16:48:36 PST 
If you have some text where the ::first-letter pseudo-element has been applied and double click the affected word, all EXCEPT the first letter is highlighted.

If you do a copy/paste with the highlighted text, you find that the whole word was copied, so it's just a highlighting error.

See it here:  http://jsfiddle.net/P3TLx/4/

Local example:

CSS
p::first-letter { text-transform: uppercase; }

HTML
<p>this is some text.</p>

If you were to double click "This" in the rendered HTML, only 'his' would highlight.

This issue has been around at least a year and currently appears in the latest Webkit (r163960).

Didn't see it yesterday, but now I see that this issue has been previously reported.
