Comment on attachment 27659 [details] Full html/css/images to demonstrate bug Must have something to do with background images because the original html I attached works without the images in it.

The attached test works correctly for me once I fix its broken CSS - @charset must be the first bytes in the file, but there is a comment before it in the test. So, marking as a duplicate of a bug that tracks making our parser more tolerant in this case. Please note that cascading the font size from body is subject to quirks - it's possible that on your actual site, you use a DOCTYPE that triggers quirks mode in WebKit, but strict mode in Firefox, for example. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 23744 ***
