Bug report: Nouveau Oleanders, Firefox, and non-working cut tugs

There is apparently an obscure bug--in Firefox, expandable cut tags aren't working on Nouveau Oleanders...because of the styling of the first letter of the entry's contents. People are working on a fix, but in the meantime, if you don't want to change to another style, there's a rather over-the-top but workable fix.

First, look at the source of your journal layout. You're going to want to copy everything between <style type="text/css"> and </style> (which will all be in the <head> section of the source) into custom CSS. Then, you're going to want to find the :first-letter styling...and remove it! It looks like this:

.entry-content:first-letter { font-size: x-large;
    font-style: italic; }


After you've entered it, uncheck "Use layout's stylesheet(s)" and save. If you've done this correctly, expandable cut tags should work. If you want to tinker around with this bug, and figure out a way to make them work by overriding previous CSS instead of replacing it entirely without the offending part, let us know the results--I tried a simple "inherit" for both those properties instead, and it didn't work.

If you have problems, you can always put things back the way they were by deleting all Custom CSS (except what you had before) and rechecking "Use layout's stylesheet(s)" and saving.

If you need more help or have suggestions, feel free to comment to this entry.

Ok, I, er, appear to have spoken too soon. Regarding getting the journal source layout, is that through View -> Page Source in the Firefox browser, or is there another way? I just tried to do this and I broke the style instead. I'm probably missing something really obvious. Sorry for bothering you again, but any help would be much appreciated!
