89317 - [CSS Blocker] Inherited colors don't work on pull-down select lists

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Skewer]

Procedure: View the testcase. Pull down the select list in the table.

Expected: Background color for pull-down list is inherited red color.

Actual: Background color for pull-down list is dark gray. This might suggest
that the option elements aren't inheriting the background color properly, since
the color of the closed list is not the option color (bug 79107).

This is a CSS blocker, so suggesting for moz1.0.

Just going through some of the evil tests with IE6 (for comparison), and see
that moz has problems with inheritance on rows as well (Build 2002053104).
See http://www.bath.ac.uk/%7Epy8ieh/internet/eviltests/table/inherit.html - 2.3
& 4.2
This is the only bug that came up with css and inherit - Is it related?

(IE gets it right, btw)

Reconfirmed using FizzillaCFM/2002071208. Setting All/All.

This bug is invalid.  "inherit" makes the <select> inherit from its parent --
the table cell.  Which has a computed background of "transparent".  Except
select dropdowns can't be transparent (bug 92748).
