1035770 - Since Australis, tooltips have rendered poorly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 957396

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[John Drinkwater (:beta)]

Attachment: One example of crappy tooltips

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140706004001

Steps to reproduce:

Use Firefox.


Actual results:

Since the theme change, in nightly and aurora I’ve had glitchy tooltips, didn’t think much of it because its an obvious problem, but we’re now months in and its jarring.

Tooltips are black with white text, sometimes they crop text and are too small. Sometimes they’re just a massive slab of black with a few words on.


Expected results:

Including a part of about:support here in case that is a reason

Thought Bug 829425 might be related but thats well before this was occurring and at least it was decently looking at the start of 2014.
