Stylesheet issue - setting color property in the :focus state

[tarod.net]

I've just found the next strange issue working with style sheets.

Using the following code, the text color is changed to red in QLineEdit but not in QTextEdit when the focus is got. In both cases, the background is OK. Does anyone know the reason why?

QTextEdit:focus {
    color: red;
    background-color: grey;
}

QLineEdit:focus {
    color: red;
    background-color: grey;
}

QTextEdit

HI , I think the text color is part of the html so that is why it has no effect.
please see

@mrjj Well, but the text color changes if I use next code instead:

QTextEdit {
    color: red;
    background-color: grey;
}

So I don't know why, but the text color doesn't change when the property is set, for example, in the :focus or :hover state.

Maybe it's a bug?

Not sure if it a bug or by design. Seem that color does not work for :focus for QTextEdit
Here they control the focus color with code

Could be a bug since it is strange that color does for for normal state.
