282866 - Text and background colours in text boxes on forms identical - text illegible

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[D.W. Edwards]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

In the page http://www.fishprofiles.com/interactive/log.asp?where=in, the text
for username and password in the text boxes is the same colour as the
background, and remains so regardless of which combination of fonts/colours
options I select to try and correct the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit the page http://www.fishprofiles.com/interactive/log.asp?where=in
2.Try to fill in the username and password boxes
3.Text cannot be seen because it's always the same colour as the background of
the text box ...

Actual Results:  
Text boxes appeared to have blank contents, but when highlighted, the text appears

Expected Results:  
The text and background colours in text boxes should differ so that the contents
of the text boxes are legible.

Bug occurs regardless of themes chosen (default, walnut etc), and persists
regardless of the selection of fonts/colours options in the appropriate dialogue
box, including "use system colours".

I´m seeing black text on a white background, classic theme in Mozilla, default
in Firefox, no adittional themes installed.

D. W. Edwards, what color are you seeing for the text and background?

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.
