`currentColor` computes to the same colour on all elements, even if 'color' is inherited differently

• Component: CSS
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Chauncey McAskill]

I've linked the test case on JSFiddle in the URL field above. The following URL is a StackOverflow thread explaining the situation in detail :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23936150/issues-with-css-currentcolor-keyword-in-ios-and-safari

Essentially under Safari 6 and up (Safari 5, is unaffected), the `currentColor` CSS keyword computes to the same colour (the first colour it initially computes) on all subsequent elements and pseudo-elements. Notably on border and background colour properties.

The keyword will sometimes compute to the proper colours depending on browser re-paints, can't quite reproduce.

I suggest auto here. Also, the const doesn’t add anything.

I don’t think you needed to add this const here. I believe would be const automatically.
