Description lxlyons 2012-10-16 19:16:45 UTC 
Currently, the CSS Styles window doesn't automatically select the top-most property when an element is selected so the user sees that there is a master-detail-detail relationship.

To fix this, we should automatically select the top-most property in the summary, which should cause the rule with the highest specificity to also be selected so its properties display.

Similarly, we might make some small tweaks to labeling and other visual characteristics to make sure the relationships are clear. See the related bug about the summary and rule list sections needing to look read-only. Those changes should come in the context of a proposed design tweak.

Fixed:
- the top-most property is selected automatically
- labeling has been modified to match the latest specification
