From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1 Description of problem: I have a grey background in the preview text area and the compose window, this is new for this version, I did not see it in earlier versions. From what I can see this only affects non-html mails, i.e. html mails display the colors set in edit->preferences->display The rpm changelog says: ---- * Wed Mar 23 2005 Christopher Aillon <caillon> 1.0.2-1.3.1 - Thunderbird 1.0.2 - Enable pango rendering ---- I suppose this has something to do with pango. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): thunderbird-1.0.2-1.3.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start thunderbird 2. Make one mail visable in the preview window, or start the compose window Actual Results: The text area have a grey background Expected Results: The text area should have a white background (as in former versions.) Additional info: Tried both my regular account, and a new one where I had not used Thunderbird before, same results in both cases, i.e. no old data laying around creating problems.
same problem here...
this has nothing to do with pango adding user_pref("browser.display.use_system_colors",false); to prefs.js solves the problem.
same for me
user_pref("browser.display.use_system_colors",false); will work. So it is fixed.:)
Adding user_pref("browser.display.use_system_colors",false); to prefs.js works. Thanks! But this really, IMHO, should be a tick box in edit->preferences->display (as is the case in Firefox)
If the grey background differentiates a "plain text" message from an "html" message, I like it... :-) I agree with Lars... if adding to prefs.js is the solution here, then why do we need a gui interface at all for other options? How many other user preferences are only available by editting prefs.js? I agree it is an acceptable work-around, but not a solution.
This is just me being dumb. I merged in that pref to make thunderbird get the colors from GTK, but forgot to merge in the patch for making it ask GTK for the right color. Building a new one now.
Fixed for me (FFM?) in 1.0.2-1.3.2.
Resolved->ISUCK. sorry about the issues.
It seems that the Mozilla update has the same problem!
