Q: 

Are there any example of CSS hacks which were working before but not after new version or patch released?

Are there any example of CSS hacks which were working before new version or patch released?

Is it ever happened?

mainly i want to know for IE, but would like to know cases of other browsers also.

my question is not about "CSS hacks vs IE conditional css"

+3  A: 

Yes, there are. On the page CSS Compatibility in Internet Explorer 7 you can find six examples of CSS hacks that stopped working when IE7 was released.

@Guffa - but hacks are still working http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/quick-tip-how-to-target-ie6-ie7-and-ie8-uniquely-with-4-characters/

Yes, of course they still work for older versions, but they changed meaning when IE7 was released.

@Guffa - It means they will work forever on older versions

@metal: If that is your definition of "working", then no, there is no hack that ever has or ever will stop "working" for any reason at all. They will always have some effect in some browser.
