Description Nils Philippsen 2016-08-15 13:55:18 UTC 
Description of problem:
The chromium that has landed in Fedora apparently comes with a couple of changed default colors, some seem badly chosen(?), so that e.g. selecting black-on-white text makes the text color white -> invisible.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
chromium-52.0.2743.116-1.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:
Reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select some black-on-white text, e.g. here in Bugzilla.

Actual results:
Selected text is white-on-white, invisible.

Expected results:
Selected text has a sensible foreground-background color combination so it remains readable.

Additional info:
Previous (COPR) version worked fine in that regard: chromium-52.0.2743.116-1.fc24.x86_64

The other updated components don't look like they could contribute to the problem to me: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/408792/69231147/
Comment 1 Nils Philippsen 2016-08-15 13:56:33 UTC 
Dang, the previous version was chromium-52.0.2743.82-9.fc24.x86_64 of course.
Comment 2 Nils Philippsen 2016-08-15 13:57:56 UTC 
NB: The "it's loading" tab throbber is white-on-light-grey now. That's probably connected.
Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2016-08-15 17:16:41 UTC 
I wonder if this is the "enable_hidpi" flag causing trouble.

Can you provide a URL that really shows off this problem?
Comment 4 Nils Philippsen 2016-08-17 15:47:38 UTC 
This right page right here exhibits it just fine. I've selected the last sentence of your comment, and will attach a screenshot of it.

Screenshot with the latest test version

The bug still exist in the  latest test version of chromium. In the red ellipse the text is selected and disappears completely.
Comment 16 Tom "spot" Callaway 2016-08-18 13:30:39 UTC 
Which version of Fedora are you using? Are you running GNOME? Is Wayland enabled?
Comment 17 Bart Ratgers 2016-08-18 14:06:58 UTC 
I'm running the latest version of Fedora 24 in a GNOME desktop (Wayland is not enabled).

XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME
GDMSESSION=gnome


Only the chromium browser RPMS came form the updates-testing repository:
chromium-libs-media-52.0.2743.116-9.fc24.x86_64
chromium-52.0.2743.116-9.fc24.x86_64
chromium-libs-52.0.2743.116-9.fc24.x86_64

The other on from the default 'production' repository:
gdm-3.20.1-3.fc24.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.20.3-3.fc24.x86_64
Comment 18 Tom "spot" Callaway 2016-08-18 19:39:44 UTC

Comment 19 Bart Ratgers 2016-08-18 20:40:29 UTC 
Everything seems to work again, selecting text and the resolution (HiDPI). 
Sadly I miss the save and open dialogs.
Comment 20 Tom "spot" Callaway 2016-08-18 20:55:19 UTC 
It looks like their gtk3 support is woefully incomplete. Maybe file a bug upstream?
Comment 21 Robert Buchholz 2016-08-24 08:28:00 UTC 
I can confirm that -10 fixes this problem. If I read https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-3431daeaf0 correctly, others are saying that -9 does not.
