[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1025935] Re: Thunderbird 14.0 scrollbars have a wrong background [regression]
It seems this bug occurs because of a bad interaction between Thunderbird and the overlay scrollbars. (If you aren't sure what I mean by overlay scrollbars, see this screenshot -- http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1QSDkzYY2vc/TXAXguJ5WdI/DS0/9205Attwbhc/s550 /unity-overlay-scrollbars.png -- you've undoubtedly seen them.) If you remove all the overlay-scrollbar packages (overlay-scrollbar and liboverlay-scrollbar*) your Thunderbird scrollbars will start working again. Even better, your other applications will be back to having normal scrollbars again. It is possible (apparently, I haven't tried it) to turn off overlay scrollbars for individual applications. If Canonical are determined to keep the overlay scrollbars in general, please at least turn them off for Thunderbird, then this annoying and long-standing bug can finally be closed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to light-themes in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025935 Title: Thunderbird 14.0 scrollbars have a wrong background [regression] Status in Light Themes: New Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: New Status in “light-themes” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have updated to Thunderbird 14.0 via the update manager recently.

@Ansgar: Thanks, that workaround works for me too. I'm surprised this bug isn't being given a much higher priority. Thunderbird is one of the most popular applications on Ubuntu, and KDE users with default settings will now find that it has no scrollbars. This kind of bug gets Linux and Ubuntu a bad name, because people see it as soon as they try the system out. Imagine you were trying to convince an organisation to switch from another OS to Linux, so you gave them a system to play with. When they try out email, the first thing they are going to notice is that they have no scrollbars. 'Err, yeah, there's some kind of work-around for that,' you say, and then you'd watch them decide to stick with Windows and Outlook. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025935 Title: Thunderbird 14.0 scrollbars have a wrong background [regression] Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have updated to Thunderbird 14.0 via the update manager recently.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1025935] Re: Thunderbird 14.0 scrollbars have a wrong background [regression]
On my system, the scrollbars are unusable because the slider is the same colour as the background. They seem to respond to clicks and drags in the expected way, but of course you don't know where to click or drag if you can't see the slider! I am running KDE; perhaps that is the reason why I am affected by this bug in a rather different way to the other posters. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025935 Title: Thunderbird 14.0 scrollbars have a wrong background [regression] Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have updated to Thunderbird 14.0 via the update manager recently.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 876461] Re: Under KDE w/ qtcurve tooltips are just black rectangles
The tooltip text is always black. For some reason, the default tooltip background colour is also black, which results in black text on a black background. You can change this by going to System Settings Application Appearance Colours Colours If you change the background colour to something bright, you will be able to read the black text. Presumably this needs to be fixed in the KDE defaults. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876461 Title: Under KDE w/ qtcurve tooltips are just black rectangles Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: No KDE application is suffering this issue.
