Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Quinn Yost (mythdraug)]

Reproduce:
   1) go to about:config
   2) hit down arrow untill the highlite is two fields lower than a field with an 
      underscore (advanced.always_load_images)
Results:
   advanced.always_load_images is displayed as advanced.always load images

Expected result
   advanced.always_load_images is displayed as advanced.always_load_images

Using the up arrow redraws correctly.

yep, I'm seeing this too.

Build: 20010905
OS: Windows 2000

Also, I notice that if I press and hold the down arrow (so highlight of the
lines scroll by quickly), the underscores are drawn correctly.

I don't know when this problem started, or whether this problem happens anywhere
else.  Reporter ([e-mail]), do you have any more information? (Have
you seen this problem anywhere else?)

See bug 37592, which deals with the implementation of the "about:config"
feature.  Note, that it is NOT a duplicate, but is a good reference point for
the progress of the "about:config" development.

I'm marking this as new.. I have not uncovered any duplicates.

No, I've not seen elsewhere. I just did a quick test in MailNews folder-pane.  It 
has a similar layout and similar behavior with selection scrolling.  It does not 
occur there.

I suspect that the behavior might be influenced by the size of the font on the 
item above the highlited selection.  If the underscore overlaps with the highlite,
the redraw only does the previously selected item and not where the highlite 
intruded in another items space.

Build: 2001112603 Win32

At some point, this has been resolved.   However, there is a new
issue:  After using the down arrow to scroll through the list,
there is a noticable delay before the text is repainted to replace
the missing undescores.

Bug 111956 opened for slow repaint.

Strange.  I'm using build 2001112603 on Win98 and still see this bug as
described in the original report.

In addition to the 'up arrow' fixing the underscrores, refreshing the screen
also corrects them (switching tabs, resizing, switching apps, etc)

Reopened

Seeing it again in 2001112703.  Might have been an xpi 
I installed that was causing it to refresh automagically.

Looks like this got fixed with the recent about:config rewrite...
