Help to file a bug: bookmarks/history white outline

Post by arni2033 »

Hello, this is my 1st post here and I want to ask help in bugs filing.
I have a list of ~15 mainly UI bugs on windows 7 (and maybe other OS), but English isn't my mother language so I might need some help.

I'll try with the simple one. Description: when I open bookmark/history sidebar and move mouse down from any item, I get those white horizontal white lines shown on attached picture: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/24orytzhreyw81r/611c4826.png?dl=0. There're at least 3 people with same problem.
I looked into:   chrome://global/content/bindings/tree.xml#treebody , then   chrome://global/skin/tree.css
and found out that it's "not win8"-specific bug (in style sheet there's no outline for w8), and could be fixed with this userstyle for stylish:

Code: Select all

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
@-moz-document url("chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.xul"){
  treechildren:not(.autocomplete-treebody)::-moz-tree-row { outline: none !important;   }
}
@-moz-document url("chrome://browser/content/history/history-panel.xul"){
  treechildren:not(.autocomplete-treebody)::-moz-tree-row { outline: none !important;   }
}

I think this must be filed as something like "In some cases outline for hover elements isn't being redrew when elements become non-hover"

Have you tried Firefox Safe Mode yet? Alt > Help > Restart with Addons Disabled.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

Yes, of course. Safe-mode, clear profile, aurora expose the same behavior. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/7006dt9yha163tx/c3f8eb4d.png?dl=0
And as I mentioned, I've met 3 people with the same problem on win7
(it's impossible to reproduce this on w8 because there's no outline listed for w8 in chrome://global/skin/tree.css )

Just to post something here from a person on Win7 ... I don't get any of those lines when I do the Bookmarks and History sidebar.... maybe a vid card issue? ... I have no idea.

@dfoulkes
Nope, it does happen. I just found out that this bug was filed a long time ago, and it has a lot of duplicates:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=909820 [New Aero list-item hover styling leaves white line behind]
I also reported on bugzilla almost all bugs I encountered and I don't need help anymore.

Please avoid posting in this thread - it should be "closed".
