909587 - underscores in URL bar invisible

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Dan Jacobson]

Attachment: underscores invisible, look just like blank spaces

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 Iceweasel/25.0a2 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130823004003

Steps to reproduce:

Even in safe mode, entered a URL with underscores like about:bla___ooo


Actual results:

Can only see about:bla   ooo


Expected results:

Should see about:bla___ooo

Yes a complete new profile fixes it. But what causes the problem? I even reset all the font.* config items back to default.

It turns out this is super easy to reproduce. In this pristine environment:
su - nobody -c 'LC_ALL=zh_TW.UTF-8 LANG=LC_ALL=zh_TW.UTF-8 HOME=/tmp/$$ firefox -safe-mode '
su - nobody -c 'LC_ALL=C           LANG=C                  HOME=/tmp/$$ firefox -safe-mode '
type some ____'s in the URL bar. In the former they are invisible. In the latter they look fine.
