293343 - Select and other form elements misrender border.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: HTML Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Jasper]

If you go to this page: http://cita.rehab.uiuc.edu/mozilla/ts-test-page-input.html
And scroll down you will see that some of the select from objects don't or
partially show their broder. The only way the border correctly renders is to
click on the object. As soon as it's scroll s out of view and you scroll back
it's wrong again.

which ones partially show their border? the ones that don't are known issues and
covered in other bugs.

This happens in Bugzilla, too.  I don't notice it all the time, but some of the
time in the last few weeks.  If there are a couple of CCs on a given bug, or any
of the <select>s on the search page, you'll (sometimes) see it.

But it's only some of the time--just like the stupid layout "scrambling" bug. 
They might have regressed in about the same timeframe, come to think of it.

Attachment: Partial missing border

FYI/for posterity, here's a quick screenshot from the cc: box on bug 293709. 
Notice the bottom 2/3 of box has its border missing.

I took a look at this. The last nightly which displayed the boarders correctly
was from 4/3.

Yeah, I've been seeing this too, on selects with size > 1. The border is only
1px thick, while it used to be an OS X textbox bevel.

Which puts it almost, but not quite, the same as the scrambling bug 294415,
which regressed on Apr 1 (there was no Apr 2 build).

This has gotten a *lot* better since the fix for the scrambling bug 294415 went
in, but I just saw it on the CC box on this page, more or less reproducibly:

1. Make sure nothing in the CC box is selected/has focus.
2. Scroll so the CC box is out of view.
3. Switch to another tab.
4. Come back and scroll the CC box into view.
5. Observe the missing border(s) on the CC box.

Unfortunately Jasper's great testcase with lots of form elements is now gone....

This appears to be fixed by the checkin for bug 298111 (as Smokey said in that
bug). I can't reproduce it at all, now, whereas I could every time before the
checkin.

Marking fixed, but don't hesitate to reopen if it re-emerges.
