Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter Reiss]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Having a simple XUL-file displayed:
... <button label="Test">...
and a CSS definition
button > * {
  background-color: lightblue ! important;
}
has no effects. Worked perfectly with Firefox 1.0 PR.
BTW: Why has a definition like
button { background-color: lightblue ! important }
no effect (and never had as far as i know). I.e. why is that
property not being inherited? Also a Bug?

Please try this with a new nightly of Firefox to verify that it hasn't been
fixed yet.

Also, it would be handy if you could supply a testcase to help others verify
this behavior.

No testcase, and no other information. Resolving as WFM. If you can reproduce with Firefox 2.0.0.3 and, especially, with a recent trunk nightly as well as provide a testcase, please reopen.
