Created attachment 61124 [details] demonstrates the bug When the background color is set to rgba(255, 255, 0.5), the computed style's background color indicates the actual alpha value to be 0.496094. Firefox returns 0.5 correctly. The bug is demonstrated in the attachment.

Also, sometimes, assigning the generated rgba color append to generate a new value : document.body.style.backgroundColor="rgba(0,0,0,0.3)"; "rgba(0,0,0,0.3)" document.body.style.backgroundColor = document.body.style.backgroundColor; "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.296875)" document.body.style.backgroundColor = document.body.style.backgroundColor; "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.292969)" document.body.style.backgroundColor = document.body.style.backgroundColor; "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.292969)"

I think this is a divide-by-255 vs. 256 issue.

Internally rgba(255, 255, 0, 0.5) is stored as 0x7fffff00 (ARGB), and 127/255 is 0.49803921568627.

This is just floating point rounding error.
