(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Jonathan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; zh-TW; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030317 Firefox/3.0b4

At the search box next to the address box, the drop down arrow displays a blue glow around it. This easily confuses users with Mac OS X skins because only a selected object will glow blue. It should only be glowing when the cursor hovers over it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just start up Firefox.
Actual Results:  
Shows the blue glow on the arrow.

Expected Results:  
It should have not display the blue glow unless the cursor hovers over it.

This should be theme related, not necessary a bug, but something to be changed.

You're talking about the "Engine to install" glow on the dropmarker arrow, presumably? That's a way to indicate that the current site has a search engine to install, and it should only appear when that's the case.

I agree that it should use something other than a blue glow to indicate "engine to install".

See bug 405443 and bug 356128. This would likely be fixed by the change in bug 405443.

this shouldn't be Unconfirmed still. It's clearly a real issue.
