[Bug 659478] [NEW] Firefox javascript cssText selector list gets reordered

[Lorem Daijoh]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I was trying to do a little javascript script to modify CSS, when I
bumped into this little problem/bug:

    document.styleSheets[i].cssRules[j].cssText

The above attribute seems to give reordered selector list if the
selectors are not delimetered with whitespaces.


Example 1 (selectors delimetered with whitespaces):

In CSS file:                  .someClass #someID { color:red; }

Above code outputs:   .someClass #someID { color:red; }


Example 2 (no whitespaces):

In CSS file:                  .someClass#someID { color:red; }

Above code outputs:   #someID.someClass { color:red; }


In Example 2 the someClass and the someID have changed order. This probably should not happen.
Here is a another example to give some sense of pattern:


Example 3:

In CSS file:
.class1:hover.class2#id1#id2:hover.class3#id3 { color:red; }

Above code outputs:   #id1#id2#id3.class1.class2.class3:hover:hover {
color:red; }


As can be seen, the hover pseudo classes are completely borked. So I
guess this is a bug.
