The attached Test - ShellShock.epub demonstrates the problem (the first paragraph).

Attachment 149756

I am not sure what the correct behaviour should be? Is M3 correct and the other viewers wrong?
Calibre E-book Viewer is correct, and Marvin 3 is wrong. What a step backward from Marvin 2 (now Marvin Classic)!

A good test case. The actual text-indent of an HTML element should be relative to that of its parent (and recursively).

Another way to see who's right is by unzipping the test case, and opening the relevant HTML file in your favorite desktop browser.
