Component:  Themes        |     Version:  3.1                
 Severity:  normal        |    Keywords:  child theme inherit
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Situation:

 If you have 2 Themes on a 2 sites MultiSite install (each site is using
 one theme) and want to make one of them a child Theme of the other, you
 will go to one of them and add the line 'Template: NAME OF THE PARENT
 THEME' and save it.

 After doing so the Child Theme will not inherit any Template Files from
 the parent until you deactivate/activate the Child Theme again.

 Although it says in the "Themes/Appereance" section of the Child Themes
 backend 'CHILD THEME NAME uses templates from PARENT THEME NAME. Changes
 made to the templates will affect both themes.' even before
 deactivating/activating the Child Theme.

 Looks like the template page might be checking the style.css and not
 update the option.
