Mozilla Just Fixed an 18-Year-Old Firefox Bug
Bug 290125 was first reported on April 12, 2005, only a few days before the release of Firefox 1.0.3, and outlined an issue with how Firefox rendered text with the ::first-letter CSS pseudo-element. The author said, “when floating left a :first-letter (to produce a dropcap), Gecko ignores any declared line-height and inherits the line-height of the parent box. […] Both Opera 7.5+ and Safari 1.0+ correctly handle this.”
The initial problem was that the Mac version of Firefox handled line heights differently than Firefox on other platforms, which was fixed in time for Firefox 3.0 in 2007. The issue was then re-opened in 2014, when it was decided in a CSS Working Group meeting that Firefox’s special handling of line heights didn’t meet CSS specifications and was causing compatibility problems. It led to some sites with a large first letter in blocks of text, like The Verge and The Guardian, render incorrectly in Firefox compared to other browsers.
The issue was still marked as low priority, so progress continued slowly, until it was finally marked as fixed on December 20, 2022. Firefox 110 should include the updated code, which is expected to roll out to everyone in February 2023.

Arsenal set to send wonderkid Charlie Patino on Blackpool season-long loan transfer to get 18-year-old more experience
ARSENAL are set to loan Charlie Patino to Blackpool, according to reports.
The talented teenager burst onto the scene last season, scoring on his debut in the Gunners’ 5-1 League Cup victory over Sunderland.
He also started Arsenal’s 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Nottingham Forest in January.
According to Gunners youth expert Jeorge Bird, the North Londoners have decided that the 18-year-old’s development would be best served by a season in the Championship.
The deal will see Patino play in the second tier during the 2022-23 campaign, but will NOT include an option to buy.
He will play under well regarded coach Michael Appleton at Bloomfield Road.

Blackpool have been desperate to sign a midfielder after being rejected by Cameron Brannagan last week.
The Seasiders triggered a £1.2million release clause in Brannagan’s contract, only for the 26-year-old to turn them down and sign a new contract with the U’s.
Explaining his decision, Brannagan said: “It’s hit the clause and everyone’s seen that, but it comes down to how much I really love it here.
“I do and I think the fans, players and staff know that. Off the field I’m happy and settled and I love the place, so why would I want that to change?”

It is unknown if Sigman intended to target Jones or if they even knew each other.
“It’s just it’s so close to home, and they wouldn’t really expect that,” said Sexton.
“She didn’t have anybody that hated her.”
Investigators said Sigman got into a fight at Leopoldo’s Pizza Napoletana, where he reportedly threatened to shoot the man he was arguing with.

When security saw he had a gun, Sigman was asked to leave the area.
Detectives say that’s when Sigman walked to the parking deck a block away from the pizza shop and opened fire on the parked car where Jones was sitting.
“This case is active and ongoing. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Carrollton Police Department,” said police in a statement on Facebook.
Jones had recently graduated from Mount Zion High School, which posted a tribute following the news of her passing.
“It is with great sadness that we write to inform you of the passing of Anna Jones, a recent Class of 2022 graduate of MZHS,” the school wrote.
“Anna loved this school and this community, and she will be missed dearly by many. Please keep her family and friends in your thoughts and prayers as they go through this difficult time.”
