122348 - [RR]Stylesheet switching causes textcolor to be wrong [AltSS]

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 88154

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Daniel Steinberger]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.8+)
Gecko/20020126
BuildID:    2002012608

when switching stylesheets and afterwards switching back, the textcolor of the
content is wrong.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit URL (testcase also available as ZIP:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=66128&action=view )
2. apply the alternative Stylesheet (View->Use Stylesheet->Enlighten Theme (other))
3. reapply the (View->Use Stylesheet->Enlighten Theme (Default)) default sheet.
4. watch the content text go gray

Actual Results:  the content text goes gray
Expected Results:  the content text should stay ההhh.. kinda-yellow

I have been searching Bugzilla for similar bugs and found Bug 118560 covering
'Stylesheet switching leaves remnants of old sheet's background [AltSS]'. but
since this is a background problem, i encountered with other pages, too, I
wanted to file a bug for foreground, too.

Appears to work on IE6
Its been drawing boxes for the past 5 mins now, and no crash.
Dont see it ending though, so its probably going to continue until crash.

Confirming on current linux.  Over to style system.  Looks like bug 122346 to
me... (same cause)

Some sort of ReResolveStyleContext bug, since it also shows up on theme switching.

Problem also shows up on body text at http://www.dzr-web.com/welcome.php
Note that this also affects font-family.

This appears to be a regression between 2001/12/09 and 2001/12/27.
I'm also seeing problems with generated content not showing up, introduced 
during this period. I don't know whether they're related.

A better example of this problem and related problems (e.g. bug 118560) is:

http://www.dzr-web.com/people/darren/music.html

Note that switching between alternate stylesheets messes up color, font-family,
and background.

Most of these testcases seem to be, for the most part, fixed by the fix for bug 
63863.  I'll leave this as open, since I might not understand the whole issue, 
but this might be able to be duped.

I have a fix for the testcases mentioned in comment 4 and comment 5.  I'm not
sure what fixed the original problem in comment 0, since bug 63863 really only
dealt with background colors.
