I notice mention of MacOS X on this URL. Jonathan Little, (on Windows?)
got the thing when he had a carriage return in the middle of the
relevant CSS but not otherwise, I get it no matter what. In other words
it is nice and stable on a Mac. In general bugs on Macs are consistent
and well behaved. A nice environment is provided for them on the ground
that Macs are made with the idea that every living bit or byte deserves
a fair go.

Yes WinXP SP3

Seems to be the order of parameters thing not an OS thing:

background: url("pics/crimson.png") repeat-x bottom;

throws an error and

background: url("pics/crimson.png") bottom repeat-x;

does not. So putting the attachment position properties before the
repeat property prevents the error message.

Take care,

Well spotted. But what about the other trigger for this bug you
mentioned on your Win, about carriage return? You were saying it
appeared with the CR but not without. I was not getting this one.

Johnathan,

You are correct. It's not a specific OS related bug. I added a comment
in the bug report to that effect today.
