Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create the following application and run

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
<fx:Declarations>
<!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->
</fx:Declarations>
<fx:Style>
@namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
@namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";
.myRedStyle

{ chromeColor: #FF0000; }

s|Button

{ fontStyle: italic; }

s|PopUpAnchor

{ color: #0000FF; }

s|PopUpAnchor s|Button

{ textDecoration: underline; }

</fx:Style>
<s:layout>
<s:VerticalLayout/>
</s:layout>
<s:HGroup>
<s:Button id="openButton" label="Open" click="pua.displayPopUp = !pua.displayPopUp"/>
<s:PopUpAnchor id="pua" top="0" left="0" right="0" bottom="0">
<s:Button label="Button in PopUpAnchor using myRedStyle" styleName="myRedStyle"/>
</s:PopUpAnchor>
</s:HGroup>
<s:Button label="Using myRedStyle" styleName="myRedStyle"/>
</s:Application>

2. Click on the "Open" button
3. Observe styles applied

Actual Results:
Only simple type selector styles are applied:

1) s|Button (italic)
2) s|PopUpAnchor inherited style (blue text)

Expected Results:
The Button inside the PopUpAnchor should also have:

3) .myRedStyle (chromeColor red)
4) s|PopUpAnchor s|Button descendant selector style (underline text)

Workaround (if any):
For #3, you could assign .myRedStyle as the styleName of the PopUpAnchor.
For #4, this may be a fact-of-life since the PopUpAnchor is not the parent of the Button at runtime.
