Blockquote and quotation marks

Issue Summary

I've got Baron installed on my site with Drupal 6.9. I notice that blockquotes have a right-hand large quote mark on the bottom-right of the blockquote, but not a left-hand quote mark at the top left.

However, if I turn off "optimise CSS" on the admin performance settings, then left quote marks appear. However, a large left quote also appears at the start of other HTML tags such as "a" and "strong" within the blockquote.

This is happening in Firefox 3 on a Linux box. I haven't got a Windows PC with IE handy to try it.

#1

It seems to be related to the blockquote :first-child declaration in style.css. The observed behaviour seems to match the CSS when CSS optimisation is off, so I'm not sure what CSS optimisation is changing.

However, the blockquote :first-child declaration doesn't seem to be doing what was intended, I think. How can it be improved? I'm a newbie to CSS.

Any updates on this?

I am having similar problems with blockquote with several different themes, and on FireFox and IE!

The quotation marks and lines signifying the beginning and end of the quote are mis-aligned.

I'm having the same issue in Sky, but I only see the large left-hand quotes at the beginning of my blockquote. Any further clues?
