Description Conscious User 2013-08-08 16:53:57 UTC 
The GTK documentation encourages developers to use GtkGrid for all boxing needs, replacing GtkVBox, GtkHBox, GtkBox, GtkTable, etc.

However, currently it's not possible to use GtkGrid to build linked buttons, because its LINKED class is not properly styled.

Attached is an example code for Python 3, and a screenshot of what it generates.

This also happens with HighContrast.

Comment 3 Paolo Borelli 2013-08-18 20:24:12 UTC 
There isn't much that can be done here, :first-child and :last-child are not well defined concepts for a bidimensional grid
Comment 4 Conscious User 2013-08-18 20:49:51 UTC 
Ok, so it seems the issue is deeper. I filed https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706269
Comment 5 Cosimo Cecchi 2013-08-22 14:08:23 UTC 
Not much we can do here from the theme. If/when the grid starts supporting sibling selectors, this will work automatically - or we'll ensure it works correctly at that time.

Closing as NOTABUG for now.
