I don’t find anything logical about a shorthand property that resets longhands that it can not set itself. And I say this with about 15years of experience creating / editing / managing stylesheets and good knowledge of specs. (I was “bitten” by this an hour ago… I was editing an element where `background-clip` was necessary. Easy right? After editing, reload my page to check this and other things, only to see that my `background-clip` was not applied. Right-click on the element… yeah, right, it had of course the `background` shorthand applied due to an other selector (I knew that). I burst out laughing, this discussion in mind, my cat was angry as I disturbed his nap). Philippe -- Philippe Wittenbergh https://l-c-n.com/
