Bug 234672 – Entirely remove support for -apple-trailing-word

• Component: CSS
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Tim Nguyen (:ntim)]

It became no-op in bug 196525, but CSS property parsing/codegen was kept for compatibility on some frameworks using it for Safari detection.

The issues that were opened for the 2 main usages found have since been closed and fixed.

Here are some usages in the wild: https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context:global+apple-trailing-word&patternType=literal

I'm of 2 minds about this.

On one hand I want to kill -apple-trailing-word with fire.

On the other hand, it looks like it's still used by at least a few fairly high-visibility repos. cssinjs and reacttips-dev seem worth at least filing issues on.

Maybe leave it in but mark as "Removed".

Looks like this is causing webkitpy failures:

Not really sure how that happens....
