[Bug 1436120] [NEW] Faulty transparency in Gtk+ "About" dialog due to overlay scrollbar

 

Public bug reported:

Open the Help->About dialog of a Gtk+ app, e.g. gnome-terminal, gedit,
evince...

Some text appears over the default gray background.  Click on the
Credits or License button.  New text appears on white.  Now click on
this button again to close the info that just appeared.

Expected behivior:  The initial look of the About dialog should be
restored.

Actual behavior:  The foreground text is there, but the background
becomes black (Utopic) or transparent (Vivid beta).

If the dialog is closed and opened again, it'll be faulty right away for
the rest of the app's lifetime.  You have to restart the application to
make it show correctly again.

Tested both with Gnome-shell and Unity; and both with Adwaita and
Ambiance.  In case of gnome-terminal, both with and without the
unofficial transparency patch.

LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 makes the bug go away.

In https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746707 mainsteam Gtk+
developer stated that he (presumably on Fedora) can't see the bug
either, and his (apparently correct) guess was that it's caused by the
overlay scrollbar.
