44170 - Tree Twisty does not respong to CSS :active

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Nikhil Bhatla (gone)]

In a Continuing Effort to make a Macintosh Classic Skin:

On the Macintosh, mouseDown on a twisty in a tree highlights the twisty.  
Using CSS, you should be able to simply alter the 'list-style-image' in an 
:active pseudo-class style, like so:

.tree-cell-twisty {
 list-style-image: url("chrome://global/skin/twisty-closed.gif");
 user-focus:ignore;
 padding-right: 2px;
}

.tree-cell-twisty:active {
 text-decoration: none;
 list-style-image: url("chrome://global/skin/twisty-closed-active.gif");
}

The :active style, however, has no effect and the new list-stye-image does 
not get displayed.

This bug should be nominated for nsbeta3 because it is a polish effect 
that results in a better and more fluid user experience.  In order for our 
classic skins to even be accepted and worthwhile, they must emulate that 
native GUI as good as they can.  This bug hampers this ability.
