2008-07-11 Thread Nick Welch
Woohoo!

I've finally come up with the magic bit of CSS to work around this:

hbox#browser { margin-right: -1px !important; }

(to anyone reading this that isn't sure what to do with that, copy/paste
it into ~/.mozilla/firefox/your profile/chrome/userChrome.css)

This may be not be the absolute most correct solution (I think some
other element has a border/margin/padding of 1 where it should be 0, but
I couldn't track it down), but it fixes the problem for me perfectly.

[Bug 125734] Re: Firefox scrollbar doesn't use the infinite size usability effect

2008-07-03 Thread AleksanderAdamowski
I did a short clean room test.

On the same physical machine, I've launched Ubuntu 8.04 desktop i386
live CD and then Kubuntu 8.04 desktop i386 live CD.

On Kubuntu, after launching, I've installed Firefox using Adept since it
isn't present by default.

The result is that Firefox in ordinary, Gnome-based Ubuntu doesn't have
this problem and I can grab and more the vertical scrollbar's thumb
after I move the mouse pointer to the extreme right side of the screen.

In Kubuntu, Firefox _has_ the problem - when I move mouse pointer to the
right side, I cannot grab the scrollbar's thumb and I have to move the
pointer at least one pixel to the left.

Assuming that this is the same Firefox binary (versions from both
Kubuntu and Ubuntu live CDs  show Gecko/2008041514 Firefox/3.0b5), it
would indicate that Kubuntu's default theme is to blame.

But when I install and launch KSpread using Adept in Kubuntu orusing
Synaptic in ordinary Ubuntu, it doesn't exhibit this problem at all! I
can grab KSpread's vertical scrollbar's thumb at the edge of the screen
without problems.

So maybe the problem is due to the Kubuntu's QT-GTK theme integration?


To summarize:

The same application (Firefox):
 * has the problem on Kubuntu
 * doesn't have the problem on Ubuntu

The same application (KSpread):
 * doesn't have the problem on Kubuntu
 * doesn't have the problem on Ubuntu

The only meaningful pattern I can see here is that Firefox, being a GTK
app, on Kubuntu is under influence of QT-GTK theme integration mechanism
which may be causing the problem.

Oh, BTW, all the other apps I've mentioned (Konqueror, Kedit, Gedit,
Gnumeric, Abiword etc) seem to add the border around the document area
and its scrollbars by themselves, regardless of desktop themes. So this
is a widespread, but separate problem with many other desktop apps.

2008-07-01 Thread AleksanderAdamowski
Oops, after testing on a fresh Hardy installation I couldn't reproduce
it with Ubuntu packaged Firefox 3 with default theme. It seems that
something leftover in my Firefox profile is causing this.

But I've discovered that almost all GTK and QT applications suffer from
this problem (yes, I've tested on my fresh installation of Hardy), which
is very bad.

Should I report a new bug or change the purpose of this bug?

I think one should focus on the apps that behave correctly and see in
which they differ from the rest - those apps are latest Firefox 3,
KSpread, KPresenter.

2008-07-01 Thread AleksanderAdamowski
 kedit kword and konqueror dont use GTK. Your native desktop is kde# or
 gnome or xfce?

I've tested on 2 machines, one is my Kubuntu Hardy desktop which uses
KDE natively, second one is a plain UbuntuHardy  desktop with Gnome
only.

On both of them I can see a ~2px - 3px thick border around the document
area of most applications - plain text file editors, spreadsheets, etc.
Both KDE and Gnome equivalents (Kword on Kubuntu - Abiword on Gnome,
Kedit - Gedit, etc.).

Interesting exception - Kspread doesn't exhibit this problem, it has no border 
and the scrollbar can be easily grabbed by moving the pointer to the extreme 
right, to the edge of the screen.
Gnumeric on the other hand has the border, OOcalc too.

The style settings on Ubuntu are synchronized between KDE and Gnome so
this mechanism (and one particular theme - I'm using Plastik) might be
to blame on Kubuntu.

However, to my knowledge, nobody messed with the theme on the plain
Ubuntu machine, which is a recently installed system shared by my cow
orkers. It still exhibits this problem in GTK apps with the default
Gnome theme (I suppose).

 John, it seems I was wrong and this is indeed a GTK issue.

 I've unpacked chrome files shipped with firefox-3.0 Ubuntu package and

 theme's scrollbars, they are even updated in real time if I switch GTK

 So it seems that Ubuntu Firefox's default theme is closely integrated
 with GTK and it inherits GTK's problems. This would also explain why
 installing a different theme (like Nick Welch did) fixes the problem  -
 3rd party themes aren't integrated with GTK.

 I've tried verifying it in a different GTK application or even some QT,
 but all apps I've tried have some ridiculous border added to the whole
 document area (I've tested gedit, abiword, gnumeric, gnucash, oowriter,
 oocalc, kedit, kword, konqueror). This is quite a problem, BTW, as this
 severely impacts usability of a large group of basic apps.
   
kedit kword and konqueror dont use GTK. Your native desktop is kde# or

 Do you know any well-behaving application (apart from Firefox) that
 doesn't create this useless border around its window that I could test
 with? Or maybe this is the problem with GTK itself, not those
 applications?

   
I cant say as i am unable to reproduce this here in gnome. However if
you see it in all those apps you may see it in any browser you use. 
Ubuntu-Mozilla-Team can you please try to reproduce this, I am unable to.

This has nothing to do with compiz. Firefox has an extra pixel of
padding/border/whatever to the right of the scrollbar, which is the
cause of the scrollbar not being right at the edge of the screen.  I
have never even had compiz installed and I've experienced this problem
with Firefox for as long as I can remember on multiple Ubuntu machines.

I just installed the LittleFox theme and the annoying 1px scrollbar
padding is gone.  The problem is in Firefox's default theme.  This could
be a dead simple CSS change for someone familiar with the chrome.

2008-06-26 Thread AleksanderAdamowski
This seems to be an issue with the Firefox's default theme, to it should
be fixable by a tweak to that theme. Probably a simple change in
chrome's CSS as Nick Welch suggested.

When I install the Classic Compact theme (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-
US/firefox/addon/3699) and its configurator (https://addons.mozilla.org
/en-US/firefox/addon/6969), then configure Classic Compact to Webpage
window border: Disabled, then the scrollbar works fine at the edge of
the screen.

This is on the current official Ubuntu Firefox 3 package for Hardy
(firefox 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1).

The Default theme shipped with this package still exhibits the problem.
