Description Michal Schmidt 2011-05-26 07:01:22 UTC 
Description of problem:
In "Software Update" the text of the update description is light grey on a white background. The low contrast makes it hard to read. It should be black on white.

There's an interesting trick (which may be a bug in itself) to make it black on white. See the "Steps to Reproduce".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-packagekit-3.0.0-1.fc15.x86_64
gtk3-3.0.9-1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run "Software Update" (gpk-update-viewer) under Gnome Shell when there
   are updates available.
2. Notice the grey text of the update descriptions.
3. Use the Gnome Shell's accessibility menu in the panel to turn on
   "High Contrast". The text is now well readable as expected.
5. Turn off "High Contrast".
6. Notice that almost everything returned to its original appearance,
   except the update descriptions which are still black on white.
  
Actual results:
as described in steps 2 and 6.

Expected results:
In step 2 the descriptions should be black on white.
In step 6 the descriptions should appear the same as in step 2.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 19:23:01 UTC 
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
