168726 - "Lists" (UI, not HTML): Focus changes color after user action

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 166059

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Serge Gautherie (:sgautherie)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910

When a list of items is displayed,
The first user selection uses "dark blue" color, as expected;

but once the user make use of this selection,
the resulting selection then uses "light grey" :-(

I have seen this in two cases: Download Manager, and Preferences__Languages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. For Download Manager, see description and confirmation at
<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166059>, #c1 and #c2
1bis. The confirmation was observed on a Linux: it's not Win95 only.!. (You may
change Platform and Operating System as needed.)

2. For Preferences__Languages:
3. Edit > Preferences... > Languages
4. (assuming there are multiple languages)
5. Select one (or more) language
6. Use Move_Up or Move_Down ou Remove buttons

Actual Results:  
The focus color changed.

Expected Results:  
The focus color should remain "dark blue".

Workaround, obviously:
*If "light grey" is not the MS-Windows background color ... it is possible to
continue to work with the new color.
*If "light grey" is the MS-W. bg color (like my setup) ... making the selection
"again" restores the "dark blue" color, until next action :-<


NB: It could be somehow related to

hope that's correct

>1. For Download Manager
yes, this is a bug, but there's already bug 166059 filed, isn't it ?

>2. For Preferences__Languages:
When you click on a button, you are actually changing the focus.
A tree loses the focus and a button gets the focus.
So the tree selection is changing from dark blue to light grey and I think this is
the desired behaviour.

     ***** reply to comment 2

*For Preferences__Languages:

I agree: it surprised me at the time, but it can/does make sense !

*For Download Manager:

Currently, bug 166059 is titled about loosing focus after bottom line deletion only;
And this bug is about color change on all other lines...

I suggest to:
*either mark this bug as new, and rename it to "D.M." instead of "Lists..."
*or rename bug 166059 to be more general about focus/color handling in D.M.

I prefer to rename the other bug.
Please do it so if you have time.

Learning how to use BugZilla:

Marking as "Verified (Duplicate)"...

Could I mark this bug as "Closed" (see comment 3 to 5), or should it remain V.D.
untill some condition is met ?
Thanks.

I think it will be ok if you leave it as it is
