159709 - phrase elements nested inside pseudo-class anchors prevent background colors from showing

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 65917

Chimera 0.4, Mac OS X 10.1.5

(This is possibly a Mozilla bug too, But I am unable to confirm.)

If you indicate a background color for the active state of an anchor
pseudo-class, eg:

a:link {color:blue}
a:active {color:white; background:red}
a:visited {color:black}

and you nest a phrase element within the anchor, eg:

<a href="link.html"><strong>link title</strong></a>,

the background color will not show as expected when you click the link.

However, if the phrase element is nested outside of the anchor, the background
appears as expected when the link is clicked.
