Describe the issue

This is (as far as I can tell an undocumented) change from 5.3.0-alpha3 and previous, where this worked, to 5.3.0.

Previously, it was possible to color table rows (and perhaps cells, which I've not used) in a different color using text-bg-*, for example <tr class="text-bg-danger">. I have primarily preferred them over the table-* classes because of the more uniform look with other elements and the stronger, more distinct colors. The documentation does not explicitly state that the text-bg-* or bg-* classes cannot be used on table elements, nor do the table docs mention that you have to use the table-* classes.

When trying to do this now, the row remains default colored, because the rule for .table > :not(caption) > * > * , which sets background-color: var(--bs-table-bg);, takes precedent on the <td>s.

Reduced test cases

<table class="table">
  <thead>
    <tr class="text-bg-primary">
      <td>Column 1</td>
      <td>Column 2</td>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Cell 1</td>
      <td>Cell 2</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Cell 3</td>
      <td>Cell 4</td>
    </tr>
</table>

I have used a custom thead gradient from bootstrap 3 to 5.3.0-alpha3 without any issues. Thought surely when this broke in 5.3 final it was a simple oversight that would be fixed in the next release.

The description above clearly identifies an issue that was caused by a last minute change with 5.3 final.

Surely there are more than two people waiting for a solution, this should be a higher priority!

Have always been an early adopter of new versions, but just had to revert again to alpha3.
