"line-height" not working

pypo · 04-06-2015, 01:42 PM

Hi,

I can easily change the font sizes in my stylesheet, so I know that the CSS file is attached correctly to my files. The font change shows up in preview instantly.

However, changing the line-height in the stylesheet is ignored (doesn't show change in preview, doesn't show change in live CSS).

Does anyone else see this (bug maybe) or is there something I might be doing wrong?

Thanks.

Perhaps it is being overridden somewhere else in the CSS hierarchy. Do you have any styles specified inline or in the <head>?

Is line-height also used in another CSS element with greater priority, anywhere?

Note: If so, it should still show up in Live CSS, but lower down.

Do your changes to the line-height parameter work? If yes, then that would eliminate my concern about a bug.

line-height: 2; /* default is 1.2 */

works for me

Typos before and sometimes after affect the render (ADE is notorious for tossing the entire sheet

)

The biggie

Is the correct stylesheet properly linked
