269637 - Form elements not rendered properly, unusable under Linux (both GTK1 and GTK2)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Marek Stępień [:marcoos, inactive]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pl-PL; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041112

These form elements:
1. select and option
2. radio button
3. check box
4. button
do not work properly in Mozilla-trunk. 1-3 are unclickable and select is showing
all its options at once, even if it's declared to show one option at a time.

Buttons don't display any text, they're narrow and empty, they're clickable, though.

I've seen this in Mozilla 1.8a4/gtk2 and in two builds identified as
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041112
(both GTK1 and GTK2 versions).




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a page with form elements (e.g. select Debug > Viewer demos > #8 Forms)

Actual Results:  
Most form elements are unusable and/or look wrong.

Expected Results:  
All form elements should be usable and look corectly (just like in Firefox 1.0).

This happens in both the Modern and the Classic theme. For the testcase, use the
Debug menu of the Mozilla Application Suite.

Attachment: Screenshot from Mozilla-trunk - WRONG

This is how Mozilla-trunk renders the form elements.

Attachment: Correct rendering (Firefox 1.0) for comparison

I see no difference on my mozilla nightly Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686;
en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041112 compiled yesterday 11/12/04 with the correct
example.
May be say what the diff is.

I am using the official mozilla.org nightlies, not my own compiled builds.
