Bug 249594 – HTML details marker does not update when CSS display: contents is applied

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Šime Vidas]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open https://jsbin.com/yaxizom/edit?html,css,output
2. Click “Details”

What happened:

The triangle marker ▶︎ does not change.

What should have happened:

The marker should have turned down (▼). It does in Chrome and Firefox.

I’ve checked how VoiceOver is affected. The collapsed state is announced, but the expanded state isn’t.

Confirmed that this is still present in Safari 17.1 on MacOS.

Adding the CSS "display: contents;" on the 'details' element causes the disclosure triangle to remain pointing sideways in both open and expanded states.
