What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Generate the sample polymer application in the editor.
2. Add bool get applyAuthorStyles => false; to click_counter.dart
3. Add to the generated css file:

button {
  background-color: blue;
}

1. Run pub serve
2. View the application in Chrome 25.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected: The button should be blue.
actual: The button is default styled.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

polymer: 0.9.5+2
sdk/editor: 1.3.6 STABLE
mac os x: 10.9.2

Please provide any additional information below.

Might be missing something obvious, but:

if your main page says "button { background-color: blue; }" ... it's not supposed to apply to the button inside of click-counter's Shadow DOM, right?

Added Pkg-ShadowDOM, Area-Pkg, NeedsInfo labels.

You're right it shouldn't, applyAuthorStyles has been deprecated from the Shadow DOM spec. It's been removed from polymer.js (Polymer/polymer#425), but not yet from polymer.dart. Support in Dartium must not have been removed yet (the button will turn blue in Dartium).

Removed Area-Pkg label.

applyAuthorStyles is now gone in Dartium too.
