Description Johannes Schmid 2006-03-17 12:21:42 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When devhelp is launched the html view (gecko widget) does not have a background
but is transparent and you see the desktop/applications behind. This is not nice
because it looks like something has crashed. It would be better if there would
be a (gray/white) background.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start devhelp with no options
2. Look at html view before you select any item in the tree


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
yes

Any comments on the hack-patch?  It's perhaps not the best solution, but this bug is really ugly.
Comment 5 Mikael Hallendal 2006-11-03 07:47:14 UTC 
I have no problem with this work-around.
Comment 6 David Trowbridge 2007-01-08 02:14:43 UTC 
Does that mean I should commit or no?
Comment 7 Richard Hult 2007-01-22 13:04:14 UTC 
Yes, please do.
Comment 8 David Trowbridge 2007-01-22 22:44:02 UTC 
Fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major release. Thank you for your bug report.

        * src/dh-html.c: Initialize the GtkMozEmbed widget to display
        about:blank instead of nothing. Fixes bug #334867.
