Description Jack Spaar 2008-09-16 21:49:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
On XO running fedora rawhide livecd,
The highlighted button in a dialog (any app) looks black while the dialog window is in focus.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I'm not sure which underlying component is responsible.  Here are candidates chosen from zenity's dependencies:

cairo-1.7.4-1.fc10.i386
fontconfig-2.6.0-2.fc10.i386
freetype-2.3.7-1.fc10.i386
gtk2-2.14.0-4.fc10.i386
glib2-2.18.0-1.fc10.i386
libglade2-2.6.3-1.fc10.i386
glib2-2.18.0-1.fc10.i386
libgnomecanvas-2.20.1.1-2.fc9.i386
glib2-2.18.0-1.fc10.i386
gtk2-2.14.0-4.fc10.i386
pango-1.21.6-1.fc10.i386


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot fedora rawhide livecd on XO per http://katzj.livejournal.com/438184.html
2. Log in to gdm and open any dialog, such as System->shutdown
3.  or run: zenity --question --text 'do you like pirate buttons?' --ok-label='Aaargh!' --cancel-label='Naargh!' 
3. 
  
Actual results:
While the dialog window is in focus, the *text* in the highlighted button appears blacked out.  Tabbing to a different button will move the effect to that button.  Focussing on a different window will remove the effect until the dialog is in focus again.  Notice that in buttons with an icon and text, the icon is not blacked out, only the text.

Expected results:
visible text on highlighted button while dialog window is active

That looks like the button is drawn in black when it shouldn't, not the text being of the wrong color!

At any rate, theme issue of some sort.  Not Pango definitely.

Fair enough -- the screenshot tells the story better than I can.  If you could reassign to a more likely component that would be great -- I have no clue.  

But checking the theme I see another symptom of the same thing:

Going to System-preferences->look and feel->appearance shows "Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon', and then shows a Custom theme with Nodoka controls, normal looking colors, nodoka window border, Fedora icons, Bluecurve pointer.  (This is all default from the livecd, I don't have any prefs set.)

Then when I try to change appearence pref->theme->customize->colors->input boxes->background, the color picker itself appears *all black* unless I choose an area not on the outer ring -- OR if I tab to a different input element OR if the window gets defocussed (by choosing Applications menu, e.g.).  Just like with the dialog button backgrounds.

May also be
Comment 5 Behdad Esfahbod 2008-09-17 03:01:37 UTC 
I don't have any informed guess on what may be going on.  We fixed a bug in cairo that could cause this but that fix is in 1.7.4 already.

Warren points to this upstream bug --  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15700

Which also at least has a workaround
Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 03:06:48 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Just been testing build 20090227 from http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/ on an
XO - all dialogues I tested displayed correctly, no black fill. Looking good here :-)
Comment 9 Peter Robinson 2009-04-07 16:57:43 UTC 
I think this should now be fixed. Anyone still seeing this on either F10 or rawhide?
Comment 10 Peter Robinson 2009-05-13 18:38:02 UTC 
Closing as this is fixed.
