114193 - Form input field textcolor always foreground color

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 109808

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Bernard Piller]

I discovered this bug after updating zu Mozilla 0.9.6, it was not present in 0.9.4

When you use a CSS to set a default font color with DIV and a different style
for text fields in forms, mozilla 0.9.6 always uses the foreground color of the
DIV style.

Here is part of my styles.css:
DIV {
	font-family : Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
 	color : #FFFFFF;
}

.inputform {
	font-family : Courier, serif;
	color:#060090;
	background-color:#FFFFFF;
	text-align:left;
	font-size:12px;
}

When I use a <INPUT TYPE=text NAME=logname SIZE=20 class="inputform"> link, the
text in the field is white on white :-(

Could you give us a small (1k or less) testcase? I didn't try too hard, but I
couldn't reproduce this.

This bug has been fixed (after 0.9.6 was released, unfortunately).

thanks boris

Bernard: This has been fixed in more recent builds, if you want you can download
a nightly build from www.mozilla.org and try that. Thanks for helping!
