24919 - browser text colour prefs affect chrome as well as content

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 24733

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Ben Goodger (use ben at mozilla dot org for email)]

grab a Mac build (couldnt test on windows because the colour picker popup doesnt
appear to work properly) and go to the "Colors" pref panel under "Appearance".
Set a obviously different colour for "Text", like bright orange. click Ok

note that parts of the chrome where there's text have gone orange (e.g. sidebar
panel headers). relaunch the prefs window. all text is orange. why is this
setting affecting chrome?

expected results:
page text would change to that colour, but not colours in the chrome

Haven't a clue who the right owner for this one is, but it should get looked
at soon. This may be either transitory while work goes on to support arbritrary
chrome, or it could be a real problem with inheritance. Likely this will be XP;
that could be checked by manually setting the pref on other platforms. 

It sounds like this pref may be affecting the value specified by default in
/chrome/global/skin/default/global.css instead of the value specified by 
default in /chrome/navigator/skin/default/navigator.css -- but that's just
a guess.
