Following http://drupal.org/node/225125 I could not get the subtheme to inherit the css. The page is locked even For Me!

Here is My two info's

This would not work as documented until "version = VERSION" was removed from the child theme. This is undocumented and was only found because someone else had the EXACT problem...

Issue tags: +theming, +d7docs

adding tags - this has docs input format, so not sure why you can't edit!

If you were confused like I was, the actual problem is not with the doc page, but with a comment on the doc page: http://drupal.org/node/225125#comment-4151222

I ran into this problem by actual copying the original theme's info and then tried to make it into a sub theme. I'm worried about replying to the comment because he refers to core=6 and I assume this is d6 and my environment is d7 so I can not confirm this is an issue in d6.

Would adding this line be a adequate (and accurate) fix for now?

Note: In D7, if copying a base .info file with the line "version = VERSION", this line should be removed from subtheme's .info file.

It looks like it maybe a D6 issue too, but I cant test it because I don't have d6...

It seems like a regular issue...

Why is "version = VERSION" in the .info file in the first place? Should this be in a troubleshooting section instead on the main subtheming page if it is not a common issue?

That line is not in the d6 version of blackpiano, so I'm not sure what d6 theme to use to test the problem.

This for D7 documentation and D7 is End of Life.
