Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 977029

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P4)

Description

[Claude Pache]

Attachment: test_input_color_reset_bis.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140224220227

Steps to reproduce:

1. open the testcase attached
2. click the button "Set value to #00ff00 (green) and defaultValue to #0000ff (blue)"; this will change the color of the <input> to green.
3. click the reset button


Actual results:

* The color of the <input> remains green.
* However, inspection of the element reveals the `value` property of the <input> is correctly '#0000ff' (blue).


Expected results:

* The color of the <input> should be updated to blue.

Chances are, properly fixing bug 977029 will fix this bug too.

Even if the visible effect isn't this bug has the same root cause as bug 977029.
A test case for this bug is included in bug 977029's patch (namely layout/reftests/forms/input/color/block-invalidate-2)
