181664 - XHTML Paragraphs change color when clicked

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 65917

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[David Anderson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020913 Debian/1.1-1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020913 Debian/1.1-1

On the page http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/introduction.html , clicking on a
paragraph of text turns the paragraph font color to red during the time I keep
the left mouse button pressed. Releasing the mouse button turns the font back to
its normal color. Links in the paragraph seem unaffected, and the original color
of the paragraph doesn't seem to influence things (the titles are also affected).

Also, clicking and holding the mouse button in between two paragraphs changes
the color of all paragraphs (except titles) to red. Again, releasing returns the
normal color and links seem unaffected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the page http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/introduction.html
2. Click and hold left mouse button on a paragraph of text or title (not a link)


Actual Results:  
The text of the clicked paragraph, regardless of set color, turns red.

Expected Results:  
No color change should occur.

The page has a :active style on those paragraphs.

Although we do have a bug on whether :active should apply things like paragraphs.
