CSS id selector with embedded dot

[Tom Schindl]

Infact '#the.button1' means id = the, cssclass = button1

So it would match 

Button b ...;
b.setId("the");
b.getClassNames().add("button1");

So for example, we have a button "myPane.button1". I am not able to select this button in a css file. Here is an example program and the css file:
