Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources CVS HEAD as of April 1st 2002. Having a bold tag inside an inline tag seems to cancel out the background-color attribute for that tag. Simple test case: <span style="background-color:red;"> text <b>bold text</b> other text</span> The "bold text" does not have the background color. It only seems to affect inline tags, since <div> etc are unaffected, but <i>, <span> etc are.
Er, April 1, 2003!!!
that's been the case in 3.1 too - so no regression. Phew :)
