276450 - Page is not shown proper (text color is sometimes equal to bg color)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: GFX: Gtk, defect)

Description

[Benjamin Lippelt]

Sometimes parts of the text of the page seems to be missing - marking it with
right mouse dragging, it appears.

Does not appear on Solaris 10.

Gtk2 Problem?

Do you have javascript enabled? This page uses js to construct a reference to a
stylesheet depending on what browser it is in.

js is enabled, of course. if js is not enabled, css is not used, but the part
which was "white" when using css is "white", too. Interesting: when viewing the
frame source, the part which is "white" in the user view ist "white" in
sourcecode view, too.

The URL in the URL field is inaccessible.  The URL in comment 3 is showing up
fine over here with a GTK1 build.

Reporter, could you attach an HTML page to this bug that shows the problem for you?

The URL in comment 3 has changed its content so you cannot see it :-/. Have a
look to http://www.seg-sanitaet.de/html/einsaetze/einsatz_hochhaus.html. Opening
the file *local* it looks well, only remote is a problem (so I do not attach a
file).

I have added an attachment which shows the problem. The area which isn't shown
proper is marked red. Have a look to the html code to see which text has to be
shown.

Oh, I see.  Those lines contain garbage bytes, and XFT fails to deal and drops
the whole line.

This is a known issue, fixed in current XFT releases, iirc.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Please file a new bug if this still occurs in a recent trunk build. Thanks.
