Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 250273

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[mozillaBugzilla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

Firefox 1.07 renders elements via the css3 property 'opacity' incorrectly. 
While the Mozilla Developer Center suggests that this is proper
(http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Useful_CSS_tips:Color_and_Background), the
CSS 3 Specification for transparency
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/CR-css3-color-20030514/#transparency) says that the
property should not be inherited.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use css 'opacity' property
2. look at children elements
3. realize its improperly implemented

Actual Results:  
child elements were transparent

Expected Results:  
not made child elements transparent

It isn't inherited but it does affect all descendants.
