Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[J. Weaver Jr.]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0 SeaMonkey/2.48
Build ID: 20170129191635

Steps to reproduce:

Use SeaMonkey 2.48 with Default Theme


Actual results:

The "default" button for any dialog is displayed with white text on light grey background - barely readable. Non-default buttons are displayed normally, but turn to white text on light grey background when moused over.


Expected results:

Button texts should always be legible.

I am not seeing this in either a VM or real hardware. Neither 2.48 nor 2.51a1 are affected.

From top to bottom:
Windows Classic
Windows 7 Basic
Windows Aero

Could you try and check with a standard Windows 7 theme and/or also with a new test profile or in safe mode.

If Intel video try to switch of hardware acceleration and check if you have the latest video drivers.

With Windows Classic and Windows 7 Basic themes, I do _not_ see the problem. The problem occurs on _all_ of the standard Aero themes.

Safe mode makes no difference. Video hardware is AMD Radeon HD 8350, latest drivers.

Hmm might be a hardware or driver problem.

Do you run the Crimson drivers?

Could you try a Firefox 51 builds and see if the problem is also visible there. I this case the bug should be moved to a Gecko component. Not away of anything in SeaMonkey source code which could cause this.

[J. Weaver Jr.]

I am not running the Crimson drivers.

The problem does not occur for me with Firefox.

The problem did not occur for me in SeaMonkey 2.47, but appeared in 2.48.

After a few more hours of swapping hardware and software, the problem appears to be on my end. I'm marking this RESOLVED.

[Frank-Rainer Grahl (:frg)]

Great. Were you able to track it to a specific component or was it just the healing hand reseating the card?

[J. Weaver Jr.]

It was a Compatibility setting: "Disable visual themes" was checked. <facepalm> No one has _any_ idea who did it, of course.
