Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

Using the latest released gtk2 library (gtk+-2.5.2.tar.bz2) with the classic
theme with mozilla shows makes the text and images overlap in pulldown widget.
For example see attachment in the compose window for mail, the "To:" field is
overlapped with a pulldown icon (up/down arrow) and likewise with the "From:" field.

I believe there may have been a gtk API change and the mailnews component in
mozilla is specifying both text and and icon - the latter which is now unecessary. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch to classic theme
2. Openup mailnews compose window
3.

Actual Results:  
Text and graphics overlaid making difficult to read.

Expected Results:  
Obvious from image provided.

Actually i just tried an earlier version of mozilla (1.8a2) with the same new
gtk2 library and the problem is not there (i.e. the text is not overlapped with
the icon), so the problem cannot be gtk related. There has been a change in
mozilla that exhibits this bug. Also the text for "To:" is left aligned in the
older mozilla and right aligned in the new version.

More diagnosis shows this to be a XUL problem. See a example of a pulldown

Note the 2 icons overlaid (a pullown down arrow and a up/down arrow also)

Ok, this seems to be fixed in the recent cvs release. No more duplicate images
overlaid, but the text in mailnews "To:" button is still overlaid.

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.

This isn't fixed. mailnews compose still looks wrong. (as in the attached
screenshots)
Normal menulists just happen to look correctly because the image from the skin
is put over the gtk2 image.

Does this bug still occur in a recent trunk build?
