hi, please read the code

<x orient="vertical">
    <y orient="inherit"></y>  //not inherited
</x>


<x style="-moz-box-orient:vertical">
    <y orient="inherit"></y>  //not inherited
</x>


<x orient="vertical">
    <y style="-moz-box-orient:inherit"></y>  //not inherited
</x>

<x style="-moz-box-orient:vertical">
    <y style="-moz-box-orient:inherit"></y>  //inherited!
</x>

specifications says that xul attributes flex orient pack etc does not accepts "inherit" but they should, i think.

thank you

Reproducible: Always

i'm sorry

the problem is the css properities too cannot accepts "inherit" as value too

for example:

if i want to dragdrop a toolbar from NORTH to EAST

i must be able to set orient="vertical" ONLY to toolbar not to the entire subtree

where toolbuttons inherit "vertical" and they draws labels under icons

+-----------------------------------------+
+[ICO] Label [ICO] Label [ICO] Label [ICO]+
+-----------------------------------------+

->

+-------+
| [ICO] |
| Label |
|       |

| [ICO] |
| Label |
|       |

| [ICO] |
| Label |
|       |

| [ICO] |
| Label |
+-------+

please note, inherit should be allowed, but not should be the default value on xul
