1046570 - Composition window fields with fade effect

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Toolkit :: UI Widgets, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140716183446

Steps to reproduce:

Upgrade to TB31. 
Windows 7, classic theme, all UI fade and animations disabled (OS level). 
Open composition window. 




Actual results:

To:, Subject: fields have onmouseover and onfocus fade-in/fade-out effects. 


Expected results:

If application whishes to add additional fade/animation effects, it should honor OS settings.

Fade effects are highly annoying to me, the reason why I disable them at OS level. 
An application should not force additional effects onto me like this. 
Especially since it's primary purpose has nothing to do with visual presentations.

I searched the prefs and found nothing which could help me disable this effect.



This could be similar to bug 1004870

Also "From:" field is affected by this fade.

This is definitely related to this bug, not sure if I should post a new bug: 

The box "to protect your privacy, TB has blocked remote content in this message" now slides in every time a message is displayed that triggers it. 

Again, I do not want animations. How do I disable the animation?

TB styles the UI widgets via CSS and has no way to check the value of the Windows setting. There must be support for this in Toolkit or Gecko core to disable animations automatically (for XUL chrome) according to the Windows setting even when specified in the application CSS themes.

Agree that new eye candy shouldn't be forced, which is why I logged bug 1004870 in May.

MarjaE, do you know of other bug reports like this?

I haven't noticed any fade in/fade out effects in MacOS with Reduce Motion. But I haven't had any trouble with fade in/fade out. I find it much easier than various sliding effects.
