Bug 57520 – <select> control does not inherit styles properly

• Component: Forms
• Status: UNCONFIRMED

[Thierry]

As the test-case referenced in the URL field shows, the following styling fails:

select {
    font:inherit;
    color:inherit;
}

Note that if the select is styled with border-*, background-* or may be other declarations then the above rules kicks in.

Reduced test-case:

form {
    color:teal;
    font-size:2em;
    font-family:monospace;
    font-style:italic;
    font-weight:bold;
}
/* this rule is ignored by webkit/Mac */
select {
    font:inherit;
    color:inherit;
}
