Description Brian de Alwis CLA 2012-03-23 17:32:39 EDT 
There have been occasions where attempting to set a value using CSS Spy doesn't seem to have any effect -- the old value is returned.  Seen most often when setting background-color on an element where the CSS definitions have set a background-color.

Fix committed as: http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/commit/?id=d0f56b209459a6b072721ec0005c4b22945ea971

AbstractCSSEngine's applyStyleDeclaration() and applyCSSProperty()  perform some caching to avoid reapplying properties.  But they fail to reset the cache when done, and thus changing already-applied  properties can appear to fail.
