[Bug 1025935] Re: Thunderbird 14.0 scrollbars have a wrong background [regression]

2013-03-03 Thread Pete Chown
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

@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 b

2012-07-18 Thread Pete Chown
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 a

2011-10-19 Thread Pete Chown
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 somethin

I had this problem too, with the same CD image. I read the data back from the CD and got the right MD5 sum, so it wasn't simply a bad CD. Because of Robert's comment above (thanks!) I tried burning it to a DVD instead. For some reason that worked. -- You received this bug notification because

Sorry, I wasn't clear what I meant with cauterize and crystallize. I didn't mean that the -ise endings were wrong, just that they are not the most common spellings. Presumably a spelling checker should allow either. At the moment, the Ubuntu dictionary only allows the less common -ise form. On

[Bug 247341] [NEW] British English dictionary is incomplete

2008-07-10 Thread Pete Chown
Public bug reported: Some words are missing from the British English dictionary. It looks as though it was created from the American English dictionary by an automated process, and some of the irregular cases have been missed. For example: - 'Prize' is missing but 'prise' is in. In British Engl
