215905 - After switching themes menu items remember old theme

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 184151

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Iain Maclean]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030810 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+

After starting up the browser I decided to download some new themes and give
them a try.
I started with the Walnut theme and had a play before deciding to go back to the
default theme. I then noticed that the menu item fonts and icons were still as
the last theme and only changed when that menu item was highlighted. Also the
background of the sub menus that I had previously selected in the Bookmarks menu
did not change to the current theme background.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start up the browser.
2. Go to http://texturizer.net/firebird/themes.html and download the Walnut 1.5
theme.
3. Activate the Walnut theme.
4. Go to Bookmarks -> 'Bookmarks Toolbar Folder' (or just a menu item that can
be expanded) and ensure that you see the menu sub items
5. Activate the default theme (Mozilla Firebird)
Actual Results:  
You will now notice that the font/text on all the dropdown menus is still using
the old theme defaults and will change to what is in the current theme only
after it gets highlighted.
Also the previously selected sub menu item (as in step 4) will still be showing
the Walnut background colours, with the menu item fonts changing after it gets
higlighted.

Expected Results:  
All menu fonts and backgrounds should be set to the new theme every thime you
change a theme and not just the first time you change the theme.

A workarround for this problem is to restart the browser.

Confirmed.

I see this also, but here the Walnut theme is not applied correctly and Firebird
has to be restarted. Switching back to the default theme works like a charm.

Iain, have you tested this with other themes, to confirm, that this is not a
theme-specific issue of Walnut?

I can confirm that I can also see this with the Phase theme.
And additional point is that if you go from default -> Phase -> Walnut you will
notice that the Walnut background only appears when you highlight the menu item
and then reverts back to the grey background rathen than staying with the Walnut
colours.
