This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Both rules, * { color: lightgreen } and * { background-color: lightgreen } are invalid CSS Level 2.0, but the validator complains only about the 'color' property.
Does not occur in newest CVS version. This was due to partial omission of the CSS3 sources for the online version. So correct in CVS now.
