While reading an answer over on Puzzling.SE, I noticed that having a spoiler in a list hides the item number/bullet. I can demonstrate it here. (It seems to be an issue only in Chrome.)

Ordered lists.

  1. This is a spoiler in a list. You can't see the number unless you hover the spoiler.

  2. Numbering continues as expected.

  3. The issue can be reproduced multiple times in a single list.

    It even holds when a list item consists of multiple paragraphs.

Unordered lists.

  • The issue holds in unordered lists as well.

  • This can be seen here.

  • The number/bullet is not hidden when the spoiler is not the first part of the list item.

    See?

  • Yeah, that wording was deliberately chosen.

  • Works fine in the iOS app. (Bullets are visible) doesn't work properly in safari for iOS, though.

This seems like a bug in WebKit / Blink - they're applying the child selector for the first child of the list element (.spoiler:not(:hover)>*) to the list marker.

Note that if the spoiler isn't the first child of the list item, this doesn't happen:

  • one
  • B

  • If you can reproduce it in Safari, it's in WebKit.

  • I don't have Safari, but from the comments it appears there too?

  • I'm a Windows/Android fan, and don't have access to an Apple device to test it on. Otherwise, I'd tell.

  • I'd file a bug on Google's issue tracker, since the bug does exist in Blink. Link me to the relevant issue if you do.
