Qt tooltips appear in black-on-black with default theme in Ubuntu 10.10 RC

[Michael Hind]

with Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 RC updated:

with the default Ambiance theme when I pass the mouse over/onto an item that has a pop-up message it appears as a black box with no script in KDE apps, for example Kate, Konversation or Krusader.

If I change the theme to Clearlooks or Dust it works fine. In fact, if I change the theme back to Ambiance, it also works.

So the problem appears after boot up. At this stage I have not tried booting up with a different theme, but felt it was necessary to report this bug.

with a bit of further testing:

The Ambiance theme seems to have the problem at application startup. If I change the theme and then change back to Ambiance it is ok. Of the other themes High Contrast Inverse, High Contrast Large Print Inverse and Radiance seem to have the same problem. On application startup a black box is displayed, changing to the theme after startup works, white text appears in the box, but not at startup. The other themes available in Appearance Preferences are ok (mainly because they have dark text in a light box rather than vice-versa.

Ubuntu 10.10 updated as of a few minutes ago.

Cheers, Michael

I love Ubuntu, BUT...

10.10 UI is much faster than 10.04 BUT IT IS FULL OF BUGS and still lacks of drivers for old devices.

1 Month since the 10 October release and no one has fixed this silly bug!!!
