(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Alex Balyuk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030206
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030206

In the example below I set the backgroud-color style in the textbox to red.
But in Mozilla 1.3b this textbox is white.
In Mozilla 1.2.1 the example works correctly: the texbox is red.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create the file test.xul with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>
<window xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">
 <textbox style="background-color:red"/>
</window>

2. Open the file "test.xul" in Mozilla 1.2.1.
The background color of the textbox is red.

3. Open the file "test.xul" in Mozilla 1.3b.
The background color of the textbox is white.

Actual Results:  
After step 3 the background color of the textbox is white.

Expected Results:  
After step 3 the background color of the textbox should be red.

Not a DOM problem.

Looks like more windows-only -moz-appearance stuff (works on Linux).

I'm getting the same issue running Mozilla 1.3.1 on Mandrake Linux 9.

Problem still exists in Mozilla/Firefox versions that use "Classical"-theme.
Code as presented in the testcase does not modify background-color of a button
or textbox. After switching to "Modern"-Theme background coloring works as expected.
It is not OS-depended as this behaviour can be reproduced also on Linux and Win
XP installations.
Last tested version was Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041122.

Bug #269127 is probably a duplicate of this one.

The Bug exists also in the Linux-Version (Mozilla 1.7.3)

Comment 7

[Benjamin Smedberg]

This is due to -moz-appearance. If you set -moz-aapearance: none; then it should
work.

You're right. <button label="Farbtest" style="-moz-appearance: none;
background-color: blue"/>
works as expected and turns the background blue.
Sorry, I didn't thought about something like that to be the reason.
