           Summary: Inspector: know and display the source of the rule that
                    causes computed properties
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Inspector
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: rowan at irowan.com


Currently the web inspector displays the "computed style" section at the top of
the "Styles" panel.  When moused over, the tooltip for each displayed style
rule is the same as that shown on the interface; this is useful for
interface-truncated styles, but in most cases it would be more useful to see
where the computed rule is coming from.

xenon mentioned that much of the parsing to report this information is already
present as it is used to cross out rules which are superceded by more specific
rules.

In an ideal world, this doesn't even need to be displayed in a tooltip;
dreaming here, but as normal stylesheet sections show the toggle-tickbox when
moused over, "computed styles" could show the origin of each style in grey next
to the style.  Even better - when double-clicked to edit, a process which
currently does nothing in the computed style section (causing user confusion
[for me and other dumb people]), the appropriate style could be jumped to and
edited.
