15634 - GUI Strangeness when setting background colors in new page in Editor.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 1886

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[scalkins]

Build 1999100512 M11
Steps to reproduce:
1)Launch Seamonkey and start Editor (Tasks-->Editor)
2)When the default page comes up in Editor, Pull down the File menu and Select
All.
3)Hit delete so the page is blank. Click inside the empty page to put the cursor
there.
4)Type some text.
5) In the following order, set the colors:
    a)Click on the Background Color pull down icon on the Toolbar. Set the
background color to Cyan.
    b)Click and drag the mouse over some text to highlight it, then click on the
foreground text color pull down on the Toolbar to set it's color to Magenta.

Actual Results: Note the funny way the background color sets a cyan blue "bar"
in the middle of the page instead of coloring all the background. Minimizing and
reopening the Editor window will set the background color properly.

Expected Results: When selecting background color, all the background should
color at once, not only the line where text was input. The "bar" effect should
not occur.

this is either a layout or style bug where the layout system isn't invalidating
a large enough rect to pick up the entire bgcolor change, or possibly the view
system isn't repainting the background properly.
This can be seen easily by bringing up the editor with the default edit test
page (tasks -->editor) and changing the background color.  Notice the white band
around the perimeter of the content area.
Guessing it's Peter's bug.
