25895 - <PRE> does not inherit font color

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[Stephen Ostermiller]

The summary pretty much says it all.   The table in question is supposed to have
a black background with green letters, but instead it looks like a big black
square with no text in it at all.  Tested in M13.  This bug is completly
reproducable, as I have never seen the table in question be anything other than
totally black with Mozilla.

Doh. My mistake, that was meant for another bug. THIS bug is NOT a dup of 18170.

To make up for my mistake above, I have made you a nice little testcase :-)
The problem is that <PRE> is does not inherit font color. The following:
     <FONT COLOR="#00FF00"><PRE>Preformatted text</PRE></FONT>
does not turn the text green. Reassigning and changing Summary.

Thanks mats.

The code is invalid: <font> which is an inline element cannot contain <pre> which 
is a block-level element. It's a residual style issue and probably a duplicate. 
Reassigned to rickg.

Sure enough- I had disabled residual style for pre. It's working in my tree now.

Using 2/17 build, verified bug fixed. Pre is inheriting font color.
