Same problem in build 2004012408 / Windows2000

Reporter: Have you any idea when this did regress (you're testing nightly builds
right)?
Same problem with 2004011905 on mac os 10.2.8. Works fine with build 2004010905.
As a workaround you can change theme with "View" --> "Apply Theme".

OK, so this is my fault, but I promise that this will be fixed by the time I
finish bug 230778.

Bug 233055 is marked as a duplicate but contains in my opinion more helpful
informations about the problem as this one. We should dupe this bug instead.
Except this one is assigned to someone who knows what the problem is and how to
fix it....

Boris you are right. But so it's depend on bug 230778. Or do i missread comment 5?
Depends on: 230778
neil,  does

mean that we need that patch to fix this, or that the fix for this one is work
in parallel/yet to come?  

we need to figure out how to get theme switching working quickly so we can get
1.7a shipped

Bug 230778 doesn't have any visible benefit to users; it is a code level API
update.  If its breaking highly visible things a la theme switching, then I say
we should back the currently checked in patch out, and reland in beta when we
can get it fixed fully including the other attachment and any others which may
be looming.
I just tested to make sure that backing out 230778 did fix this bug, which it
did.  I subsequently backed out the patch which broke this after talking to
drivers.  Marking fixed.

Not fixed.  1.8b2 2005030210   Mac OS X 10.3.8

Switching theme in view menu or in preferences has no effect. However, If I
change the theme and the profile, restart, change back to the first profile the
theme will change
284521 is probably a duplicate
