We currently have a few theme bugs that require reverse lookup selectors, such as !E and F. One example is attached as a screenshot - you can see that the focus highlight is missing from the right.

There are other things that might want to do in the future that will require this feature, such as flat-style grouped toggle buttons.

note for future reference: 'reverse lookup' is not yet part of any css standards or drafts - jquery has something like a :parent filter.

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are moving bugs to NEEDINFO if they haven't seen activity in more than a year. If this issue is still important to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please reopen it and we will migrate it to gitlab.
Comment 4 Lapo Calamandrei 2018-02-12 11:59:18 UTC 
Still very interesting, reopening.
