91325 - Autocomplete dropdown goes blank on mouseover

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Srilatha Moturi]

When I move the mouse over the autocomplete dropdown box it goes blank if there 
is only one item. This happens with the location bar dropdown and also in the 
compose window.
If there are more than one item in the dropdown box, the items scroll up and 
there is an extra empty item at the bottom of the list.
But if I try to scroll up and down with the arrow keys I can see the items in 
there.
This happens with Classic skin but not with modern skin
This happens on yesterday's trunk build but not on the branch.
I've seen this happen in my debug build from 7/11 too.

I am not sure I set the right component.
Adding regression keyword.
dmose hasn't seen this on Linux. 
May be it is windows specific bug

I'm seeing this in 2001071903 on win2k as well.  Additionally, if I scroll
up/down  the text in the pulldown changes to a pale green color and I can't
click and drag to scroll any more.  In composer, most of the list dissapears on
mouseover, and there's no scrollbar either.

r=jag.

This won't fix the issue I (and probably others) are seeing in the modern skin
on linux because of some low-level problem with our font metrics.

jag tells me that this depends on some linux font issues getting fixed, and
since I have no idea when that will get fixed, marking Future

Comment 12

[jag (Peter Annema)]

I thought those font issues had been fixed already, but I could be mixing things
up.

The problem is less now, it used to be so that if I had two items in the
dropdown, they would both go away, now only one goes away.

I see now that bug on Win2000 as well ( build 2004010608)
with extend that menu goes white also when pressing down arrow

when pressing Enter or clicking on empty menu Mozilla tries to 
load uncomplete URL instead of taking it from the menu.

OP, could you confirm if this bug is still present in current TB?

I'm using TB 2.0.0.24 in Ubuntu 9.10, but I can't get such problem.

Anyway, in TB2, there's no more classic or modern skin, just default theme.  So, maybe the bug is solved already?

[石庭豐 (Seak, Teng-Fong)]

As the original reporter didn't reply and on the other hand skin is no longer present in current version, this bug will be closed as invalid.

I don't understand why WORKSFORME should be chosen.
If you use older versions of TB, you could see that the reported bug is still there, so it never *works*.
But at current version, this bug no longer makes any sense.  That's why I chose INVALID (for current version).
