User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

If you set the background color of a readonly textarea to the same color as the
CSS 'Window' keyword (i.e. if Window == white), the color is not applied.

Testcase included.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set Windows XP appearance theme to Windows XP Style: Default (blue)
2. note background color of readonly textarea is gray
3. set style="background-color:white" on readonly textarea
Actual Results:  
Specified background color is not applied

Expected Results:  
Specifed background is applied to the textarea.

- if you change the Window background color in the Windows XP Appearance
properties, the color is applied (since they are no longer the same).

- applying a border style also applies the background color.

- happens in Moz Suite 1.8a6 also

actually, this would be -moz-appearance overriding the CSS.  if you do
-moz-appearance: none !important it should be fine...

This should be fixed in nsNativeThemeWin (or shared?), but I think we also have
a general bug on making nsNativeTheme not be so fragile...

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.
