See screenshot of the Documents window (Shift+F4). Note that it is not the same as issue 58117 however may be related. Also try to play with New File wizard (Ctrl+N). Left list is OK, right is not - strange.
linux, gtk, jdk 1.5.0_04, jdk 1.6.0-ea-b44 This worked before.
Created attachment 23288 [details] AntProjectHelper is 'selected'
Probably Tim's should know more. Probably his regression. Not only unfocused background, but also focused background color is invisible in some cases. Attaching the patch which will make it at least usable. Not ideal but still better than current implementation which makes GTK more or less unusable/very_inconvenient (See New File, New Project, Add Module Dependency, ...) But as Tim said "It mangles painting on GTK L&F".... Should be IMHO fixed for 5.0, since GTK works quite nicely in Mustang.
Created attachment 26462 [details] HtmlLabelUI patch
My recollection - painting our own background color in earlier versions of GTK L&F just guaranteed we would paint the wrong color, which is why that line was there - in other words, returning null there probably does solve the problem for JDK 1.5; but something has changed in 1.6 and it now works correctly. So if deleting those lines works, do it - we don't care about GTK on 1.5 anyway, right?
I'll do so. I'm using patched version for some time. Is better to use not-so-polished version than hard-to-use one.
Fixed. Checking in openide/awt/HtmlLabelUI.java; 1.7 --> 1.8
OK, thanks a lot.
