272070 - Checkbox and radio buttons don't show hover color in forms, which gives no feedback to the user about which input box has focus.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 183247

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[cynthia.lockley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2

Background hover and focus color works in Firefox on Windows XP, but not in Mac
OS X 10.3.6. User gets no feedback about whether a radio button or checkbox has
focus.

On Mac, the background color used in input.input, textarea, and select lists
does show background hover / focus color but the input radio buttons and
checkboxes do not. 

Works for all fields in Firefox and Mozilla on Windows XP; however, the color
for checkboxes and radio buttons does not fill the entire box or button--it
displays a faint outline but at least it shows some change in state.

I have even tried specifically styling radio buttons and checkboxes in the CSS
but none of the following works in Firefox on Mac:

textarea:focus, textarea:hover, input:focus, input:hover, select:hover {
	background-color: #ffc; }

input.radio:focus, input.radio:hover, input.checkbox:focus, input.checkbox:hover {
	background-color: #ffc; }

Same behavior as in Firefox on Mac is seen in Camino. But none of the fields get
a hover or focus background color in Safari.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL
2. Hover mouse over input fields, radio buttons, and checkboxes.
3. 

Actual Results:  
Color of the background in input fields changes from white to yellow #ffc.
Color of the background in radio buttons and checkboxes stays white and does not
indicate a change of state.

Expected Results:  
Changed color in all form fields, buttons, and checkboxes when the mouse hovers
over them.

I am using the Nautipolis 1.0.1 theme. I installed a separate Firefox to use the
default theme. The bug also occurs in the Default theme.

i'm seeing this bug on linux (debian) too with firefox 1.02 & 1.03. the style:

*:focus
{
  border: thick solid black;
}

shows (on the test url) how radio buttons & checkboxes are passed over.

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.

Sample form showing selection boxes, radio boxes, and check boxes.

This isn't a code patch, and as such doesn't require review.

As it has been commented on (several times), this bug will not be auto-closed.
