217488 - Bad handling of 8bit pseudo colour; default theme unuseable

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core Graveyard :: GFX: Gtk, defect)

Description

[Christoph Weber-Fahr]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030826
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030826

I tested this on my Sun Ultra 5 Workstation with Solaris 2.6 (btw - why are
there nightly builds for 2.6, but nio releases ?)

annoying: Mozilla grabs (needlessly, IMO) all colours and makes 
          all other windows illegible. Netscape 4.x worked fine
showstopper: the default (classic, netscape-like) theme apparently
           has so much problems that text fields (url, dialogs 
           etc) have black fon oin black background, making them
           unuseable. Modern theme, though, has correct text fields.

This MAY be a duplicate of bug 
           http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118986
I don't know enough about colour handling to be sure.

Reproducible: Always

if this was w/ a nightly build, it's gtk, not xlib; changing component

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
