From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: This file: $ cat /usr/share/apps/kdisplay/app-defaults/AcroRead.ad acroread*lprCommand: kprinter acroread*Foreground: WINDOW_FOREGROUND acroread*Background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND $ causes KDE to set X resources specific to Acrobat Reader: $ xrdb -query | fgrep acroread acroread*Background: #ffffff acroread*Foreground: #000000 acroread*lprCommand: kprinter $ However the resources are not correctly set, since there are many of them ending up with Background or Foreground. From my Acrobat Reader installation: $ cd /usr/local/acrobat-5.0.8/Reader/intellinux/app-defaults $ fgrep ground: AcroRead *Background:#999999999999 *TabWindow.Background:#ffffffffffff *ToolTip.Background:#ffffffffcccc *TextHighlight.Background:#000000000000 *AVTextEdit.background:white *AVTextEdit.foreground:black AcroRead.background:XtDefaultBackground AcroRead.XmScreen.background:XtDefaultBackground *AboutDlg*foreground:black *AboutDlg*background:white $ As you can see your "acroread*Background" setting overwrite all Acrobat Reader resources ending with "Background". This is OK with most of them, but it's not OK for "TextHighlight.Background" which should obviously be different from "Background". The result is that the "find" functionality of Acrobat Reader can't work under KDE. I suggest either explicitly setting: acroread*TextHighlight.Background: WINDOW_FOREGROUND after: acroread*Background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND or replacing: acroread*Background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND with: acroread.Background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND or any other similar solution. I'm trying to reproduce this bug on Fedora Core 2 beta but I'm stuck with kernel bugs for now (no network, no CD drive, no USB) so I can't test for now. I'll update this bug report when I'm able to boot Fedora Core 2 without problems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.1-15 How reproducible: Always
At first sight this seems to have been fixed in Fedora Core 2: $ cd /usr/share/apps/kdisplay/app-defaults $ cat AcroRead.ad acroread*lprCommand: kprinter Acroread.foreground: WINDOW_FOREGROUND Acroread.background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND AcroRead.borderColor: WINDOW_FOREGROUND AcroRead.XmScreen.background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND AcroRead.XmScreen.borderColor: WINDOW_FOREGROUND $ I'll have to double-check as soon as I have updated my Fedora Core 2 machine to the latest packages and got it to boot properly.
it's fixed in current release
