33251 - Background colour changing is horked

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 11491

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (Win95; U)
BuildID:    20000324

Changing the background colour in Composer doesn't repaint the screen properly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Composer
2. Change background colour using toolbar widget

Actual Results:  Part of the background changes colour, in a T shape.

If you have inserted text selected when you change the colour, the selection is 
"reopened" (becomes reattached to the pointer). 

Also, loads of the colours in the picker are not the same as those the 
background colour is set to when you select them.

Expected Results:  The entire background changes colour.

It's a repaint problem - covering the window and revealing produces the right 
result.

If you leave it horked and change the colour again, you can get a border of the 
original colour round the block of new colour.

This broke between 20000126 and 20000217.

Works fine on Linux.

Known problem. Wish it would get fixed!
The other problem mentioned about not getting the correct color is also
an existing bug. Color picker is due to be replaced, and will fix that problem.
