Description Vladimir Riha 2012-12-17 15:45:27 UTC 
This is imho incorrect behaviour:

- have some element, for instance

<ul id="menu">        </ul>

- invoke Edit CSS Rule dialog for this element, modify class selector and confirm

=> to the target css file, rule #menu is inserted as well but I didn't want it, I have #menu in some other css file (and even if not, it is still not a reason to create it). 

I'm not sure how this could be resolved, perhaps the dialog shouldn't insert class and ID selector at the same time after all.

This will happen only if you select the ID selector type, won't it? 

The current implementation allows to create both class and id rules in one operation.

I admit this may be confusing in this special case. 

I can simply change it create rule JUST for the last selected selector type.

Having a list of planned operations at the bottom of the window as Jir<ka already requested would help as well.

I really thought it happened without this action, but I can't reproduce it now, so I guess you're right and I didn't realize it.

OK then, I'll address this issue after 7.3 along with the mentioned issue. Turning to task if you do not mind.

Not at all, thanks
