Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 760345

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

Attachment: Testcase

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build ID: 20160315153207

Steps to reproduce:

1. Nest two depths of `div` HTML element.
2. Apply `background-color: currentColor` on the first depth and `background-color: inherit` on the second.
3. Apply the `color` CSS property on the two depths with a different value.



Actual results:

The keyword `currentColor` is inherited as the computed value of the `color` CSS property of its parent.
The background of each depth is filled with the same color.


Expected results:

The keyword `currentColor` should be inherited as it is.
The background of each depth should be filled with this own computed value of the `color` CSS property as it is defined in the CSS specification of W3C: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color/#currentcolor-color
It seems that was agreed upon in 2012: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012May/0541.html
