[Image] Bug

Non-inherited properties of inherited rules are semitransparent (opacity: 0.5).
When editing, the text is gray and text selection color is too dim. Newly added properties
of inherited rules are semitransparent, too.

All properties should be opaque when editing.

[Image] inline vs inline-block

Initially, I made values inline, but after one of the design meetings two months ago we decided to change it to inline-block.

Text selection looks better with inline-block. As a downside, value element may move when you start editing it.

I'd prefer to keep it inline-block.

We should hide ";" while editing values.

Looks good overall.

> +.spreadsheet-style-declaration-editor .property.not-inherited .content > * {

I generally try to avoid using * in CSS, but I think it's fine here.

r- because I don't want `display: inline-block` to be removed.

Devin, do you mind if I finish this one? There was no activity here for a month. I'll post an updated patch tonight unless you want to finish it yourself.

Go for it.  I'm in the midst of Syllabus week right now, so things are a bit hectic.  Sorry for the delay 😅

r=me

One thing that I noticed when I was working on this was that when you edit the value, it shifts the semicolon around.  This is because of the `margin-right: 3px;` in the `.spreadsheet-style-declaration-editor .value.editing` rule.  If you remove that, the semicolon doesn't shift anymore, but it now appears "above" the shadow.  I think the solution here is to move the editing element "above" the rest of the content while it is being modified.

    .spreadsheet-style-declaration-editor .value.editing {
        display: inline-block;
        position: relative;
        z-index: 1;
    }
