297950 - Dynamic pseudo-classes doesn't work for class names with tag-wildcards in CSS

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 197686

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[xcf7e6fc842b1e62f]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/412 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/412
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Selectors such as ".className:hover { ... }" doesn't appear to work, but "tagName.className:hover { ... }" 
does work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Consider the CSS:
.foo:hover { color: red; }
span.bar:hover { color: red; }

combined with HTML:
<span class="foo">foo</span>
<span class="bar">bar</span>
Actual Results:  
No result when hovering over "foo", hovering over "bar" changes it's color to red.

Expected Results:  
If my reading of the standard is correct (which it may very well not be), both "foo" and "bar" should change 
to red when hovering.

Safari, and probably other KHTML-browsers, renders the result described in "Expected Results".
