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 tried to locate CSS border settings for main-window or browser or document, nothing significant was there.
Then I've noticed that the Firefox scrollbars correspond to the GTK theme's scrollbars, they are even updated in real time if I switch GTK styles. 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. 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? -- Firefox scrollbar doesn't use the "infinite size" usability effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125734 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
