320514 - Counter values are not stored, if increment done in :before.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 288946

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Santtu Lakkala]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Firefox/1.0.7 (Debian package 1.0.7-1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

If calling counter-increment in :before (or :after), the counter is incremented, but the value is lost afterwards. However, if the counter variable is once used without :before or :after, it works.

This is easy to circumvent, but as this is the way it is used in w3c example code:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html#counters
it should be fixed.

See Bug 288946, is that covering the same thing or is this bug something not covered there?

Yes, sorry, it is basically the same issue.

Should've searched the "resolved" bugs too.
