spaces on the main tab turn white background when hovered

• Browser: brave
• Operating System: windows
• Link to page with the issue: quora
• Screenshot:

issue: on your main quora home page, when hovering over one of your spaces, the background turns white(see image), and doesn't allow you to see the text.

Cant fix this, between the dynamic generated css that will break when quora next updates their site and terrible inline styles I cant find anything that will get to this.

@AfroThundr3007730 @vednoc for ideas?

Theres this too generic selector that seems to work, its not the best way to tackle this though.

  a.q-box.qu-hover--textDecoration--none div:hover {
    color: #333;
  }
  a.q-box.qu-hover--textDecoration--none div div:hover {
    color: #eee;
  }

Im adding the so called fix above, further feedback may change that commit, however will leave this open as a reminder to me for now.

Hey @the-j0k3r, I don't use Quora so that menu is unavailable to me. I could have a look if provide me with an example page/snippet.

Seems like they're applying that background via JS because I can't get it to show with hover/active events. I have to assume it's a "good enough" fix for now since this is as far as I can go without making an account.

Have you tried replacing the white background entirely, or are they applying an inline style with !important on it?

This is not a background color, its a color except the selector it applies to is (from default stylesheet verbatim): To clarify applying a bg color here does nada

.bwxTix:hover {
    color: rgb(228, 230, 230);
}

This selector looks dynamic when they regenerate their source, I could be mislead by the name, but they do have many such selectors that have broken in the past. this one being something that use to work and now it broke.

Oh, I see! I was confused because the screenshot had a white background and the linked commit only fixed the text color. 😄

You are confused? Im still wondering why a color property (not background related) afects a background, so yes Im also confused.
