Given the rules:
   div { color: green; }
   a:hover + div { color: red;}

A <div> after an <a> doesn't turn red when the <a> is hovered.

But this rule works:
   a:hover div { color: red;}
A <div> inside an <a> turns red when the <a> is hovered.

Check out the URL for a complete example.
Summary: adjacent selector doesn't work with a :hover rule. → {css2} adjacent selector doesn't work with a :hover rule.
Here is a slightly more valid example:
   http://www.bath.ac.uk/%7Epy8ieh/internet/projects/mozilla/pseudoselector.html
The problem also shows up with pseudo-elements. For example, the following two
rules have no effect:

   div:hover:after { content: "Hovering..."; }
   div:hover + div { background: navy; }

This is presumably something to do with :hover not triggering the right sort of
style context notification(?).

alla: good catch, BTW.

Summary: adjacent combinator doesn't work with a :hover rule [CASCADE] → adjacent combinator doesn't work with a :hover rule [SELECTORS-DYNAMIC]
There are really two different bugs here:  one that deals with all dynamic
style changes related to adjacent combinators, and one that deals with event
state changes and any selector where the event state is not on the target.  I'm
going to make this bug deal with the former since that's what I've always
assumed it was.  However, both fixes are necessary to fix the combination of
:hover and +.

This testcase, therefore, is a demonstration of problems with dynamic
reresolution and + that does not involve :hover.
In particular, the bug I've always assumed this bug represented was that when we
get a dynamic change on an element, we call ReResolveStyleContext on that
element, but never its siblings (needed for +) or its parent (needed for :empty).

I filed the event state bug as bug 137395.

*** Bug 110972 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I've been thinking a bit about this... The real problem is that we make this
assumption that when a node changes somehow (DOM manipulation, entering/leaving
:hover/:active/etc, and so forth) we need to re-resolve style only on it and its
descendants.  This is a decent assumption for CSS2, but most of the CSS3
selectors violate this assumption.... (as do counters and quotes).  We should
consider designing a new architecture to keep track of dynamic changes, imo.

*** Bug 189309 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
One thought on how to handle this would be:
 1. Fix bug 163556
 2. Change Has[State|Attribute]DependentStyle to store and return whether there
are direct/indirect sibling combinators involved in any style changes.
 3. When adding/removing content, just reresolve style on the parent (to handle
empty, +, and all the new CSS3 variants).  (Perhaps there are good ways to
optimize this, but it might just not be that bad.)

Valid XHTML Strict and CSS example showing the problem with both a :hover and
:active pseudo class. Using the adjacent sibling selector, where the first
sibling has a pseudo class, the CSS is not applied. If the last sibling is the
one with a pseudo-class, it works as expected.
Hmm, Hixie (using: Mozilla 1.4b on Win2k, 2003050714) your example crashes the
browser with a "mozilla.exe has generated an error and will be closed by
Windows" message.

Nothing that explains the crash in any way is shown.
Please keep one issue per bug (i.e, file separate bugs on any crashes).
I have created two more test-cases.

Type = text/xml

http://www.annevankesteren.nl/mozilla/bug/15608/index.html

The xml test checks :hover and :not(:hover)
The html test check :hover, :not(:hover), :target and :focus

I know some of them are CSS3 selectors, but they could be used for futurre
reference.

This works for all the testcases in the bug, and I tested using a printf in
RestyleLaterSiblings that it wasn't being called when I didn't expect it to be
called (hovering and clicking UI, loading some bugzilla pages).

I already noticed the two occurrences of bad indentation of the |mHint| member
variable in nsStyleSet.cpp.

Also, is putting the new enum in nsChangeHint.h too evil?  Should I make a new
header file just for it?
(Note that this patch does not fix bug 73586, bug 98997, or bug 229915.  All
three of those bug would be fixed by step 3 of comment 28, but I'm not sure if
that's the best approach.)

If we kept track of the attr namespace, not just its name, we could do a
restyleSelf on any change of an attr in the xlink namespace.... ;)

Is it really better to use nsRestyleHint(0) all over instead of having a name
for it here?  I know your feelings on the matter, and I'm ok either way, I
guess.	It's just that looking at code like nsRestyleHint(0) always leaves me
asking "what does 0 mean"?

At the very least, comment here that 0 means no restyling necessary.

>Index: layout/html/style/src/nsCSSFrameConstructor.cpp

Perhaps this should return at least whether it reconstructed the whole doc?  If
that happens, caller knows it needs to do nothing else.

>+    if (primaryFrame) {
...
>+      // no frames, reconstruct for content
>+      MaybeRecreateFramesForContent(aPresContext, child);

This chunk of code appears in a whole bunch of places, nearly identically. 
With the patch in bug 214013 it'll become completely identical.  Maybe it
should have its own separate function?	Again, one that returns whether it
reconstructed the doc, I guess.

> nsCSSFrameConstructor::ContentStatesChanged(nsIPresContext* aPresContext, 
>+  DoContentStateChanged(aPresContext, aContent1, aStateMask);
>+  return DoContentStateChanged(aPresContext, aContent2, aStateMask);

Do we want to somehow keep the optimization where if the two are ancestor and
descendant we only reresolve style on the ancestor?  That's a valid
optimization to make here (it doesn't matter whether the kids sibling's would
have to be reresolved; reresolving an ancestor will reresolve them anyway). 
Same for the case when aContent1 == aContent2.	Or do these cases get hit so
rarely it's not worth it?

>+nsCSSFrameConstructor::DoContentStateChanged(nsIPresContext* aPresContext, 
>+      if (primaryFrame) {
>+        PRUint8 app = primaryFrame->GetStyleDisplay()->mAppearance;

Um... This is coming after you processed the changelist.  If the hint for this
frame was ReconstructDoc/Frame, you really don't want to be touching it here, I
would think

As a matter of fact, I would probably put this block up in the "else" clause
above, maybe even before I ProcessRestyledFrames.

I like the clarity cleanup here, btw.

Make that a |return ReconstructDocElementHierarchy(aPresContext);|

Hey, as long as you're here, how about:

  NS_ENSURE_TRUE(aContent->GetDocument(), NS_ERROR_FAILURE);

?  "doc" is unused below.
> Perhaps this should return at least whether it reconstructed the whole doc?  If

None of the callers do anything else after calling it, so it doesn't seem worth it.

> Maybe it should have its own separate function?

Once bug 214013 lands.

> Do we want to somehow keep the optimization where if the two are ancestor and
> descendant we only reresolve style on the ancestor?

I don't think it's worth it.  It's a very rare case, and the code is complicated
enough.  (The optimization currently in the tree is wrong, since it's done
before the HasStateDependentStyle calls.)

I put it before the HasStateDependentStyle call instead.  This should be done
even if HasStateDependentStyle doesn't say there's state-dependent style.

The exception is the second DoContentStatesChanged call (which could maybe be
skipped).  Probably not worth it.

The patch works great afaik.
However, in this testcase I does not work well.
I use input {display:none;} and input:checked+label{background-color:green;}
Please file a new bug on that testcase, with something resembling steps to

Sorry for the duplicate! My misstake.

Fantastic work! I'm very happy! Thank you folks so very much! Thank you. Keep on
the great work.
