           Summary: Empty inline elements are invisible even if they have a
                    padding
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://simondorner.com/misc/safari_testcase.html
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: sd at theparallax.com


This one is really simple to describe: It seems to be impossible to give an
empty inline element dimensions and make visible. I tried this by giving it
some padding.

This works of course if the element contains some characters other than white
space. (e.g.   or "x")

The attached test case renders correctly in Gecko-based browsers, for example:
http://simondorner.com/misc/safari_testcase_ff_screenshot.gif - Imho all strong
and li-elements should be visible. (The container elements have a grey border
to better illustrate what's missing)

This makes it impossible to replace text with a visual representation (icon or
graphic text) in visual browsers and it's the only Webkit bug (?) that i really
run into all the time.
