           Summary: Inpspector displays incorrect summary for padding
                    information
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Web Inspector
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: ssp-web at earthlingsoft.net


When having CSS that sets something like

        body {padding:20px; padding-top:13px;}

the web inspector will display 'padding:13px' for the element and only reveal
the correct information once the disclosure triangle is used to reveal the
individual sub-properties.

If, however you use the CSS

        body {padding:20px; padding-left:13px;}

20px will be displayed for padding. 

This kind of inconsistency is bad for the trust you have in the inspector and
makes it less useful for 'debugging' style sheets.

Improvements on this behaviour might be to just display '--' when there is no
consistent padding property or to display the full set of four distances.

This problem may be related to #7703.

I will add a simple test case and a screenshot from a more complex situation.
