Actually, it only happens with pseudo-elements, not pseudo-classes,
and even then it doesn't affect :before and :after (I know, I'll shut
up). I reported a less complete test case of this bug a while ago; a
better case could be helpful. In particular, I only noticed that it
affected :first-line; I didn't notice the same affect on
:first-letter. I see now I probably should have mentioned the Opera
bug in my post, but I meant to comment on the intended size of the
text. :)
As a word of warning, there are many bugs with :first-line (and
:first-letter?) in O7B1. O7B2 fixed at least one bug with :first-line,
so I'm hoping that :first-line will be usable again in Opera 7 when
it's released.
