[Bug 1367764] [NEW] Themes using overlay scrollbars have to set explicitly set backgrounds on all scrollable widgets

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

The overlay scrollbar module forces the window that should be scrolled
to be native. Gtk is moving away from native windows and seems to have
some hard-to-find regressions when using them.

This causes a bunch of themeing issues (black/transparent backgrounds)
which can be worked around in the theme by setting backgrounds for these
widgets explicitely. That's a performance issue (since we're filling
backgrounds unnecessarily) and annoying, as these have to be only some
of the time for some widgets (e.g., GtkEventBox).

Porting overlay-scrollbars to not use native windows might be worthwhile
if we decide to keep them.

** Affects: overlay-scrollbar (Ubuntu)
