Report custom formatting: font styles not honored

[kilian.cavalotti@…]

I have a problem with reports custom formatting: when using style to change font properties, the specified style is not applied. The following example, given in TracReports, illustrates the problem :

SELECT p.value AS __color__,
     t.milestone AS __group__,
     (CASE owner WHEN '$USER' THEN 'font-weight: bold; background: red;' ELSE 
'' END) AS __style__,
       t.id AS ticket, summary
  FROM ticket t,enum p
  WHERE t.status IN ('new', 'assigned', 'reopened') 
    AND p.name=t.priority AND p.type='priority'
  ORDER BY t.milestone, p.value, t.severity, t.time

Using this report, I correctly see my tickets with a red background, but the font weight is normal. I assume that's because the style="font-weight:bold" attribute is passed to the <tr> tag, when it should probably be passed to each <td> element.

With

(CASE owner WHEN '$USER' THEN 'font-weight: bold;' ELSE '' END) AS __style__,

the generated HTML looks like below:

<tr class="color2-odd" style="font-weight: bold;">
    <td class="ticket">
        <a title="View ticket" href="/trac/ticket/52"> #52 </a>
    </td>
    <td class="component"> trac </td>
    <td class="status"> new </td>
    <td class="type"> task </td>
    <td class="priority"> high </td>
    <td class="severity"> normal </td>
    <td class="owner"> kilian </td>
    <td class="date"> 01/17/06 </td>
</tr>

Workaround: change in htdocs/css/trac.css

body, th, td {
 font: normal 13px verdana,arial,'Bitstream Vera Sans',helvetica,sans-serif;
} 

into:

body, th {
 font: normal 13px verdana,arial,'Bitstream Vera Sans',helvetica,sans-serif;
}

or even better:

body, th, tr {
 font: normal 13px verdana,arial,'Bitstream Vera Sans',helvetica,sans-serif;
}

Perhaps related to #633?

[whueskes@…]

the (second) workaround is working fine for me.

Here is a test case: ​http://www.hosted-projects.com/trac/TracDemo/Demo/report/14
The background color is applied, but the font is not made bold.
When I edit the css using ​https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/60/, I see no other visual change except that line becoming bold, but I am no css expert, so there might be situations or browsers where it does change something.

Changing the DOCTYPE might also solve the problem: ​(google groups)

#5128 closed as a duplicate. It contains some related discussion, and identification of a code change that solved it using 0.10.4.

Changing the trac.css as follows should fix the issue:

body {
 font: normal 13px Verdana,Arial,'Bitstream Vera Sans',Helvetica,sans-serif;
}

th, td {
 font: inherit;
}

I'm surprised this ticket is still open. Is there a reason not to make the change above in the distributed trac.css? Seems like a simple solution to a vexing and common problem.

I don't like modifying my trac.css — I don't ever like local customizations to distributed code if I can help it. I solved this problem by creating a local style.css with the following:

tr th,td {
    text-decoration: inherit;
    text-transform: inherit;
    font-size: inherit;
    font-style: inherit;
    font-weight: inherit;
}

Now my reports' <tr> style attributes are inherited by their <td>s.
