Why do i keep getting the message "oops looks lie task 3 is no longer passing" even though the answers are correct?

After answering the third task correctly, i try to answer the fourth one but when i submit my answer, it tells me that the previous task is no longer correct. When i go back to the third task to re-submit, it takes it as correct and then directs me to task four and then the same problem happens.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header { font-size: 100px; background-image: linear-gradient(left, red, blue); }

.main-header { background-image: linear-gradient(to top steelblue, darkslateblue 90%); }
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">

You're missing a comma between 'to top' and 'steelblue'. That's why it says task 3 is no longer passing, because you've introduced some invalid syntax in task 4, even though you initially answered task 3 correctly.
