pixelated icons in pop up windows

[James Legg]

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

The icons in the pop up windows for allowing cookies or java-script pop up windows displays incorrectly.

Steps to reproduce:
-Set privacy options to ask how long to keep cookies for.
-Visit a web page that sets a cookie.

or

-Use a website that pops up a message box.

What happens:
-Box appears with pixelated icon on the left edge.

What should happen:
-Box appears with nicely scaled pretty icon on the left edge.

My system:
Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04
using package firefox 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3

I'm using the Tango theme, which has scalable icons.
I've attached my gtkrc theme file.

this is an issue with your theme. it most likely doesn't provide the
properly sized (or even scalable) icon for the warning dialog

Please let us know which theme you use so we can reassign accordingly

Which theme?
- The Firefox theme is Firefox (default).
- The Icon theme (as I specified before) is Tango, and it does have a scalable version of that icon.
- The GTK theme is the one specified by the gtkrc file I attached before.

I have found that switching the GTK theme (and restarting firefox) to one that requests larger icons stops this from happening (without changing the icon theme). Furthermore, the size of the icon in Firefox is actually what is wrong, other applications use a smaller icon, as requested in the gtkrc file. The Firefox version actually seems to be that small icon scaled up, so if the icon was the right size, it wouldn't be pixelated.

Also I have found the menu icon for "page info" in the tools menu was pixelated, and the menu icons are abnormally small on the GTK theme too, so it is probably ignoring this line of my gtkrc:
gtk-icon-sizes = "panel=16,16 : gtk-menu=8,8 : gtk-button=10,10 : gtk-small-toolbar=10,10 : gtk-large-toolbar=16,16 : gtk-dialog=24,24 : gtk-dnd=24,24"
Other applications follow that line well, so I still think this is a bug in Firefox and not the theme.

I hope this helps.

Yes, but i am not sure how firefox should support such kind of manual
tweaking. Willl think about it. if there is no answer in two weeks,
please ping this bug report again.

No, in parallel we should start looking for existing bug reports in
bugzilla.mozilla.org. Maybe there is a match and someone is already
working on it.

if there is no such bug we should open one and follow up with the
required information there.

It seems to be a superset of the bug here:
"icons in menus do not respect gtk-icon-sizes" https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412073

Thanks. Connecting bugs accordingly.

Confirming. We use this now to track ubuntu bug:

 https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/225953

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

we will use the upstream task to track this. No ubuntu specific task required.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

well. lets keep this open in ubuntu as well to better catch duplicates.

This is essentially the cause of menu icon sizes changing with CSS pixel scaling.

I guess fixing this would require support from LookAndFeel and a new length unit or value.
