774451 - :hover pseudo-class does not work in version 13.0.1

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 758885

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Garth Gerstein]

Attachment: FirefoxBugReport.zip

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1
Build ID: 20120614114901

Steps to reproduce:

Not sure what category this fits in. I have a dom structure that is identical in two places, but the :hover psuedo tag works on one and not another. I used css to assign the :hover psuedo tag to modify a font color when a user rolls over a link.  I can find no differences in the hierarchy so the behavior seems inconsistent. The behavior works in other browsers prior to FF 13.0.1 so it seems to be a new issue in this version.


Actual results:

Anchor does not change color on roll over when hover psuedo tag is used even with identical dom hierarchy for two elements


Expected results:

Should have changed color. I have attached the full html document to show the dom structure and the css in particular that is failing to work. Line 360 and Line 373 in the html file should behave identically. When I inspect the document with Firebug the dom structure is the same. I even see the styles change when I roll over it, but it does not change color. Thank you.

Please test it using the latest nightly build of Firefox:

If it still doesn't work, try to make a minimal testcase that demonstrates the problem.

> Anchor does not change color 
can you at least tell us which exact part of the URL doesn't work in which way?

(btw, I'm pretty sure there is no regression in Firefox 13 in regard to :hover)

Actually, there was one: bug 758885.

It was fixed in Firefox 14, though, released earlier today.  Garth, is the problem gone now?
