Description Michael Roessner 2009-02-16 09:12:43 UTC 
Hello,

The CSS Validator give me some warnings (Set color if you have background-color). I have this, but anyway the Validator give these warnings out:

See it here:

Thanks for fixing that.

Hi Michael, thanks for the bug report.

Additional note:
No warning in CSS21 profile. This seems to point to brokenness of color parsing in CSS3 profile.
Comment 2 Rafał Wrzeszcz 2009-03-21 11:52:57 UTC 
I confirm, this is CSS3-only problem. Very easy to reproduce as:

body
{
    background-color: #000000;
    color: #ffffff;
}

By "direct upload" method - turning warnings to "All" and profiles as "CSS level 3". CSS 2.1 gives no warning, CSS 3 gives:

> You have no color set (or color is set to transparent) but you have set a background-color. Make sure that cascading of colors keeps the text reasonably legible.

Hello all,

I confirm this bug and the fact that it is a CSS3-profile-only problem. 
This bug is annoying.

Please note that this bug would be easier to search & find if the Hardware (or Platform) field was set to all and not to Macintosh and if OS field was set to all and not to MacOS X.

regards, Gérard
