Status: UNCONFIRMED

Build ID: 20120420145725

Steps to reproduce:

I wanted to use the css sliding door technic with one image on a
case1: <button type="submit"><span>text</span></button>
or a 
case2: <button type="submit"><span></span>text</button>
construct.

For case 1 if floated the span element and used a negativ margin thus the transparent corners in the image wouldnt overlap.
For case2 I positioned the span element absolute while the button element is position:relative


Actual results:

In both cases the span element doesn't inherit the cursor property when outside of the button. Placing the span element inside of buttons dimensions, the element inherits the cursor property.

Explicit assigning the cursor property to the span doesnt work either.


Expected results:

Child elements in buttons should display the cursor property in any case.

Does the same thing happen in the latest Nightly? nightly.mozilla.org

Or better yet, could you please attach a testcase that shows the problem?

Here is a test case showing this issue.

In both examples the outlined <span> elements should have a "help" cursor. They show a default cursor instead.

This appears to work as intended for me in FireFox 75 on macOS 10.13.6.

@asxoniles, can you confirm that it works for you now?
