186026 - Alternative Style Sheets should be Sticky

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 83663

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Hamish Barney]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When a user chooses an alternative style sheet and then clicks on a hyperlink
Mozilla displays the linked page in the default style sheet, not the style sheet
the user choose. 

This happens with both links that are internal to the page itself (i.e. to other
anchors within the page) and when the link is to another page that where the
alternative style sheet that the user choose is link-ed as an alternative style
sheet.

If a user: 
- selects an alternative style sheet;
- clicks on a link; and
- that new page also has the user-selected alternative style sheet in the list
of alternative style sheets
then the style sheet that the user selected on the previous page should be used
to style the page instead of that page's default style sheet.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the w3 css website, (http://www.w3.org/style/).
2. Choose an alternative style sheet, for example "Traditional".
3. Click on the link titled "Documentation" at the top of the page. This links
to an anchor at the bottom of the same page.

Actual Results:  
The page will revert to being displayed in the default style sheet not the
alternative style sheet (e.g. "Traditional") the user had choosen.

Expected Results:  
When the user selected style sheet is available at the linked page as an
alternative style sheet the it should be used for rendering the page.
