Summary: When the background property of a col element is changed, the column's cells do not repaint. To reproduce: open the testcase in Safari and click the link, then select and deselect all text. Expected: background color to change from yellow to green immediately when clicking the link. Actual: background was repainted green only when repaint was triggered by text selection.
