1260751 - GCLI close button is invisible on linux

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(DevTools Graveyard :: Graphic Commandline and Toolbar, defect, P2)

Description

[Alexandre Poirot [:ochameau]]

Bug 1257348 broke the close button on linux.
It still closes the toolbar, but it is invisible no matter if you hover it or not.

It's using the toolkit .close-icon class: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/themes/linux/global/global.css#311 vs https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/themes/windows/global/global.css#326.

I wonder if this filter is inappropriate: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/devtools/client/themes/commandline.inc.css#64.  Does it happen in both the dark and light theme?

Yes.

Comment 4

[Alexandre Poirot [:ochameau]]

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/devtools/client/themes/commandline.inc.css#40
takes the lead over:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/themes/linux/global/global.css#311

If I remove #developer-toolbar > toolbarbutton from commandline.inc.css, it is visible, but only in light theme. It becomes somewhat visible in dark with may be there is an issue with the filter thing you linked.

Yeah I wonder if we could remove background: transparent from that rule.  If there's a different button that actually needs that we could override it separately.

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Comment 4 is exactly the problem. The first rule there (the one with "background: transparent") wins out, because its selector is more specific.

Probably better would be to use a just-as-specific selector for the later rule -- change it from
 .close-icon {...}
to:
 #developer-toolbar > .close-icon { ... }

Then it would be just as specific as the "transparent" rule and it would be allowed to win.

It looks like the only reason this works on Windows is that we use "list-style-image" instead of "background" to draw the close-button image there:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/themes/windows/global/global.css?rev=ac6f2fb6777e&mark=327-327#324

...as compared to Linux where we use background-image (which gets nerfed by a more-specific "background:transparent" rule as noted above):
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/themes/linux/global/global.css?rev=341484e03a4a&mark=315-315#309

I'm sorry but I don't have a linux environment to test. Would changing the linux version to use list-style-image fix the problem?

The .close-icon rule is meant to be global (the clue is in the filename). It shouldn't be changed to be specific to the #developer-toolbar. It's also used (among others) for notification bars, tab close icons, ...

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/devtools/client/themes/commandline.inc.css#40 is just wrong and needs to be fixed. Could be as simple as just using background-color instead of background:. It's not really clear from bug 873848, which introduced it, why it's necessary at all, so that seems like the safest thing to do.

[Alexandre Poirot [:ochameau]]

Ok, let's fix that.

Attachment: remove background

That simply removes the background rule, as suggested by Gijs.
It seems useless on Linux and Windows. I haven't tested on Mac.

[Alexandre Poirot [:ochameau]]

Attachment: replace background by background-color

If you want to be more conservative. Here is an alternative fix.

Alexandre, this seems like a recent Fx47 regression. Do you think we should uplift this to Beta47? If so, please nominate for uplift. Thanks!
