DESCRIPTION: -moz-outline color is nearly invisible with a dark background-color in back of a :link. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: click a link in the test case. ACTUAL RESULTS: -moz-outline color is dark. test page is dark. So, you do not see the outline. EXPECTED RESULTS: I think that the -moz-outline color should match the :link:active text color or at least the color of the :link or default text in the web page. In IE5, the outline seems to always be white when there is a dark background.

We should use the 'invert' colour, which we can do once 'outline' is implemented properly.

Adding depends on properly implementing css2 outlines.

Netscape's standard compliance QA team reorganised itself once again, so taking remaining non-tables style bugs. Sorry about the spam. I tried to get this done directly at the database level, but apparently that is "not easy because of the shadow db", "plus it screws up the audit trail", so no can do...

*** Bug 73886 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Adding fcc508 keyword. This is a crucial accessibility issue, outlined in FCC Section 508 statutes. US Government agencies cannot legally purchase Mozilla based products that contain this problem.

Bug 73884 (support 'invert' color for -moz-outline) is fixed now. Resetting target milestone from future: is this easy to fix now, or does it depend on bug 6647 (full support for CSS2 outline property)?

Bug 73884 was reopened. Reassigning to attinasi. When bug 73884 is fixed, the patch for this bug is very simple. In html.css, just change the focus declaration to: *|*:-moz-any-link:focus { -moz-outline: 1px dotted invert; }

I had to include duplicate bugs in my query to find this bug. I'd suggest adding "focus" and maybe "link" to the summary before porn surfers discover Mozilla (due to mentions of the dom.disable_open_during_load pref on Slashdot), wonder why they can't keep their place while middle-clicking links on http://www.erotica-toon.com/, and file dups.

uh, ok.

setting this to m9.5, it looks like bug 73884 is getting in under 9.4 and 6647 may not need to be resolved to resolve this issue, see Pierre's patch suggestion in htis bug.

bug 73884 is FIXED (on trunk anyway). Marking this one fixed too.

looks good :-) marking verified.

Continuation: bug 111526, "link focus outline (invert) invisible on gray backgrounds".
