191949 - different bullet color depending on whitespace between <UL> and <LI>

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 38174

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[Jamie Zawinski]

If there is whitespace between UL and LI, then the bullets are drawn in the
prevailing text foreground color (which is correct.)

If there is no whitespace between UL and LI, then the bullets are drawn in the
document's default foreground color (which is wrong.)

Same is true of OL.

Over to parser.  In the first case we have the document tree:

<ul> 
  <font>
     <li>
       <font>

While in the second it's:

<ul>
  <li>
    <font>

So this is a residual style propagation problem....

Jamie, the root problem here (apart from the parser bug) is that <font> cannot
contain <ul> so you end up with weird hacks to get the colors to work while
keeping containment sane....

This was fixed by the checkin for bug 38174. Marking as a dupe.
