Package: icedove
Version: 11.0-1
Severity: important
Since two weeks or so displayed messages have inverted colors in full html, and
the same is true for embedded images, be it headers from other servers or jpg
attachments and the like. This is a problem even in safe-mode with disabled
add-ons. There is a detail though, that may help in debugging: The add-on
"Quick locale switcher" displays a country flag in the bottom right corner of
the gui. The colors of that flag are also inverted but change to the correct
ones when I hover with the mouse over the flag. Other elements of the gui are
displayed in the right colors.
My setup is special in that I access Icedove on a remote desktop via a Sun Ray
ultra thin client (formerly by SUN, now Oracle) which has fixed color masks. I
remember this problem occured a few years ago with Flash Player and Sun Rays
and has been fixed by Adobe. Today the problem only occurs in icedove and
irrespective of starting it in KDE 4.8.3 or in Fluxbox, so it is not primarily
a Sun Ray problem but it becomes visible through using it. The "non-standard"
color mask of Sun Ray's X Server is using
red, green, blue masks: 0xff, 0xff00, 0xff0000
instead of the the much more common
red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff
If I remember correctly, a color mask can be set statically or dynamically, and
I assume that in one component of icedove or a lib from the dependencies the
color mask was changed to a fixed one. I have tested icedove versions 3 and 10
from Squeeze and Wheezy, and the behavior is the same - everything worked
perfectly though until a few weeks ago.
My apologies for reporting the bug here if it is not an Icedove issue, but I
can see the problem only in icedove and I have not the expertise to identify
which other library could cause the problem. If pointed in the right direction
I will gladly report the bug against the proper package.
Greetings,
Andreas v.Heydwolff
