Bug 17601 – Individual shorthand properties are not editable

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)

In the inspector, you can easily edit the shorthand for margins, padding, backgrounds, etc, but the individual properties listed when you expand the disclosure triangle are not editable.

Demonstrates that background shorthand property is missing background-position-x and background-position-y sub-properties.

In addition, the shorthand does not show the background-position-x or background-position-y sub-properties, per the attached HTML demo.

Inspect the green div with ID "InspectMe", then double-click the background shorthand property. It will read:

background: url(http://a3.twimg.com/profile_background_images/3703201/d-a-v-e-bg.png) no-repeat scroll green;

Instead of:

background: url(http://a3.twimg.com/profile_background_images/3703201/d-a-v-e-bg.png) no-repeat scroll green top right;

Appears to have been resolved in some recent nightly build: Inspecting attachment above under r50006 shows and allows the following:

background: green url(http://a3.twimg.com/profile_background_images/3703201/d-a-v-e-bg.png) no-repeat scroll 100% 0%;

Editing the background-position-x and background-position-y sub-properties in the shorthand format works as expected. Original bug (that individual sub-properties are not editable when the disclosure triangle is expanded) remains.

[Dave Land]

Man, I really screwed this up: I should have filed a separate bug.

The original bug (which seems more of an enhancement request) remains: expanding a shorthand property reveals _un-editable_ sub-properties.

OK
