243645 - [gtk2] text entry has no border

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Carlos Rodrigues]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040506 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040506 Firefox/0.8.0+

I'm using a nightly build of Firefox (identified by the "user agent" above) and
I see that one line text entries have no border anywhere in the interface except
in forms within web pages (which I suspect are only text areas with just one
line). Besides looking bad, this makes some text entries which are located in
white backgrounds to be invisible (for instance, "Service URL:" in
Options->Advanced).

Multiline text fields, however, do have a border.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox
2. Look at the address bar

Actual Results:  
The "address" and "search" text entries do not have a border around them, they
are just white rectangles.

Expected Results:  
Both should have a border (as should every other one line text entries
throughout the interface).

Forgot, this is a gtk2+xft Firefox build and I have seen this problem both with
previous versions of Firefox and Mozilla themes which want to look native.

It seems Firefox (and Thunderbird) always draw a white square in a text entry
widget. I've been trying other GTK themes and some define a round border for the
text entry. When this round border is smaller than the reserved space for the
widget, I can see the white square around it.

Still present in Firefox 1.0rc2.

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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
