56588 - Selection should retain while switching themes

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Skinability, defect, P3)

Description

[Blake Ross]

Overview Description:

  Selection is lost after switching themes.

Steps to Reproduce:
  1) Select text in the content area or the URL bar.
  2) Switch themes.

Actual Results:   The selection is lost after the theme switch.

Expected Results: Selection should remain, because, from the user's POV at 
                  least, theme switching should only affect the UI, and 
                  everything else should remain the same.

Reproducibility: 100% win98se new trunk build

Additional Information:
  Probably dependent on bug 56586 (retaining focus after theme switching)

Blake, I think this works on my windows 2K (branch build: 2002-05-29-08-1.0.0).
Can you able to reproduce problem in the recent build, Blake?

Retested with Phoenix 0.5!
Even opening the preferences window is enough to lose the selection.
