Hi there,

we noticed that umlauts aren’t visible if you put them into the first headline:

Is this a bug in the default styling of the new version? We use **Discourse 1.6.0.beta8** on our hosted instance **[forum.plentmarkets.com](http://forum.plentmarkets.com)**.

Best regards,  
Thorben

Presumably a CSS issue, the very top of the letter is cropped off, like a haircut, there?

Jep, like unwanted haircut 🙂

Yes, it’s probably an CSS issue.

```plaintext
.cooked>*:first-child {
    margin-top: 0;
}

```

Defined here:

My quickfix is a workaround in our custom CSS:

```plaintext
.cooked>*:first-child {
    margin-top: 6px !important;
}

```
