Test case for unit-less properties in getComputedStyle()

The values returned by getComputedStyle() for some properties that require units do not include units. For example:

<div id="test" style="-webkit-column-gap: 20px"></div>
<script type="application/javascript">
  getComputedStyle(document.getElementById("test")).webkitColumnGap; // "20" (should be "20px")
</script>

The properties exhibiting the issue are:
-webkit-column-width
-webkit-column-gap
-webkit-perspective

A test case is attached. Properties in red do not include units. At current, there are only three buggy properties and they are equally buggy when display is "none" as when it is not, but experience with getComputedStyle() bugs has taught me the value of a comprehensive test ;)

nit: although we don't enforce style for tests, webkit style is to not include curly braces for one-line if/else/for/while statements.
