[webkit-help] New platform layout/rendering problem

After looking into this a lot more today, I'm pretty sure there is a
failure
in the low level CSS parsing, which is causing the style matching to
always
get the default style, which renders inline for everything. What makes
me
think this is that CSSParser::addProperty() never gets called, nor do
any of
the higher level parseRule()/parseValue()/etc. functions, with the
exception
of parseString() and parseSheet().

So at this point I suspect a problem inside CSSGrammar.cpp, but since
it's
generated from CSSGrammar.y it is really difficult to understand what is
going
on in there. Is there anyone who understands that stuff well enough to
help me
out in any way?

Thanks,
Ben
