222793 - Text color of link destination in Status Bar is not the correct color as defined by Windows theme.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 220031

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Sarkoon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

When you move your cursor over a link, the link destination appears in the
status bar in the lower left of the window. The color of this text is currently
hard coded to black, whereas it should be read from the current windows theme.

Example: http://www.sarkoon.com/stuff/mozillalinktextbug.htm

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change your Windows XP Theme to something that causes the status bar to be
filled with a dark color. Custom themes can be downloaded from www.themexp.org.
2. Launch Firebird, move cursor over a link.

Actual Results:  
The link displayed in the status bar is displayed as black text on a black
status bar. I can't read it.

Expected Results:  
Displayed the link in white text instead of black. (As defined by my current
Windows theme)

Other programs (like internet explorer) do this properly.

In GNOME the status bar isn't themed, so I can't recreate this, but the title
bar seems to be OK.

I'm confirming though I can't see it.

I knew i'd seen this (commented on this...) before. :0)
