Comment 33 for bug 195929

The problem now seems to be with GtkEntry widgets. Observe the following cropped image from slashdot.org's login pane, taken while using murrine compiled with the patch I posted earlier. As you can see, "Nickname" and "Password" exhibit the same problem, but the "Log in" button does not (thanks to the patch).

I'm not certain what needs to be fixed, but *all* theme engines I have tried have this problem with GtkEntry boxes - Clearlooks, Ubuntulooks, Nodoka, Aurora... so perhaps it's a problem with Firefox. Therefore, I'm adding Firefox to the list of affected packages so it can get attention by the Mozilla folks.

From the duplicate here on launchpad, here's the upstream bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329846#c45

Also, in the ubuntulooks source I noticed this, can it be related? I commented this section out, and the surrounding of GtkEntry boxes got corrupt, and active tabs became black...

File: ubuntulooks-0.9.12/engine/src/ubuntulooks_style.c, line 79

 /* I want to avoid to have to do this. I need it for GtkEntry, unless I
    find out why it doesn't behave the way I expect it to. */
