           Summary: REGRESSION (r113511): Many autofilled form fields lack
                    the default autofill background even when authors
                    don’t override the autofill colors

After <http://webkit.org/r113511>, the fix for bug 66032, many autofilled form fields no longer have the default autofilled appearance (light yellow background). The intent of that change was to allow authors to override the autofilled appearance explicitly using the -webkit-autofill pseudoclass. However, after that change, any rule with equal or higher specificity than the rules in the default style sheet, even if it doesn’t use the pseudoclass, can override the default autofill style.

For example, in the URL, an author rule like
    input[type=text] { background-color: white; }
overrides the UA rule
    input:-webkit-autofill { background-color: #FAFFBD; }
