215128 - Mouse selection causes black background for long files in Solaris.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: GFX: Gtk, defect)

Description

[Scott Roland]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030804
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030804

I initially encountered this problem in looking at the GNU make manpage online.
When viewed with the nightly Solaris build, default profile, the text is
initially black on white. When I select the text with the mouse the background
for the text is blue (as it should be), but the background for the remainder of
the lines is black. Also, when I page down the background for the newly drawn
part of the page is black when it should be white.
This problem appears to be related to the size of the document.
I do not see this problem under Windows XP.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open long document with black text on a white background under Solaris.
2. Select text with the mouse.

Actual Results:  
Parts of the document are given a black background.

Expected Results:  
Background for other parts of the document should remain white.

Attachment: Long file to show problem.

This example file shows the problem. If one of the <BR> lines is removed then
the problem goes away.

Can you try a gtk2 build, just out of curiousity?

Works fine for me on Solaris 5.8/5.9 with mozilla cvs 20030802 and gtk1.
This is on a SunRay environment and fully patched.

Reporter can you try on another Sun machine ?

Does this happen with any build of mozilla on your machine or only started
happening with 1.5b ?

Are you patched uptodate with XSun and for your graphics card ?

After further poking this appears to be a bug with Exceed for windows. I had to
beg the IS guy to let me touch a real UNIX box rather than remote connecting to
one using Exceed under windows and I found that on console the problem does not
happen (nor does the problem happen using vncserver & vncviewer).

My greatest apologies.

I hate not having access to a real UNIX box.

I think there's an update to Exceed that fixes that problem, fwiw.
