1518018 - alert button text color uses selection text color

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Widget: Win32, defect)

Description

Attachment: ffalert.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.67 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I installed AeroByDesign Windows theme and opened a page with an alert() in it. 


Actual results:

The button in the alert message has white (hardly visible) text "OK" when the message is focused. When the message (that's the Firefox window) is not focused, or when the button is being pressed, the text is black and seen well. 


Expected results:

The button text "OK" should always be black. 
I found out that the color of the button label is actually the selected text color that is set in the current Windows theme like this:
Hilight=0 140 250
HilightText=255 255 255
At the same time the problem doesn't show when I select the default Windows 8.1 theme (aero).

:dao, am I right to think operating system files modified by third-party tools isn't a supported configuration?
