1281364 - rendering artifacts between menubar buttons and tabs due to GTK box-shadow overflow

Status: NEW

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P3)

Description

[Karl Tomlinson (:karlt)]

Attachment: screenshot

1. Customize menu bar UI to include some buttons.
2. Open some tabs and make the foreground tab one that is away from button
   to test.
3. Hover over background tab below button to test.
4. Move pointer quickly to hover over the button.
5. If bug does not reproduce then repeat from 3.
6. Move pointer away to left or right or above, to leave bug visible.

Expected: continuous line between menubar and tabbar.
Actual: white chunks remain.

GTK Theme: Adwaita 3.18.19

Adding overflow from GetExtraSizeForWidget() for NS_THEME_TOOLBARBUTTON shows the white shadow consistently.

Looks like this comes from:
  box-shadow: inset 0 1px white, 0 1px white;

I didn't reproduce on win7, nor with other GTK themes.

identifies the trigger to be bug 1236043, but I doubt that is the problem.

I haven't seen this happen in common configurations.
