Same color for selected text and backgound: notification area chat window
Last modified: 2011-06-12 18:43:03 UTC
Created attachment 158708 [details] screenshot Selecting the text you write in the notification area chat window makes it invisible since the background color is the same as the text color. Here's a screenshot. I'm using the Fedora 12 builds from Colin Walters repository.
This isn't just limited to the notification area chat window. It appears to happen for any selected text in gnome-shell, like the search textbox or the run dialog textbox for instance.

Review of attachment 160631 [details] [review]: That doesn't work right - StEntry is used in four places with different (font) colors, this patch works for the color used in the activities overlay's find entry, but hardly anywhere else. We can certainly look for a working selection-color in each of these cases, with the (in my opinion very limiting) constraint of both background and selection color having to work equally well with the same font color. A better solution would be to allow changing the font color of the selected text, probably best done in Clutter, although it might be possible to implement it in ST using Pango.
Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. Marking duplicate of newer bug with patches for StEntry. Requires Clutter 1.7/8, which is currently unreleased. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 643768 ***
