[Bug 1025935] Re: Thunderbird 14.0 scrollbars have a wrong background [regression]
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 undoubtedly seen them.) If you remove all the overlay-scrollbar packages (overlay-scrollbar and liboverlay-scrollbar*) your Thunderbird scrollbars will start working again. Even better, your other applications will be back to having normal scrollbars again. It is possible (apparently, I haven't tried it) to turn off overlay scrollbars for individual applications. If Canonical are determined to keep the overlay scrollbars in general, please at least turn them off for Thunderbird, then this annoying and long-standing bug can finally be closed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025935 Title: Thunderbird 14.0 scrollbars have a wrong background [regression] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/light-themes/+bug/1025935/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1025935] Re: Thunderbird 14.0 scrollbars have a wrong background [regression]
@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 bad name, because people see it as soon as they try the system out. Imagine you were trying to convince an organisation to switch from another OS to Linux, so you gave them a system to play with. When they try out email, the first thing they are going to notice is that they have no scrollbars. 'Err, yeah, there's some kind of work-around for that,' you say, and then you'd watch them decide to stick with Windows and Outlook. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025935 Title: Thunderbird 14.0 scrollbars have a wrong background [regression] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1025935/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1025935] Re: Thunderbird 14.0 scrollbars have a wrong background [regression]
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 affected by this bug in a rather different way to the other posters. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025935 Title: Thunderbird 14.0 scrollbars have a wrong background [regression] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1025935/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 876461] Re: Under KDE w/ qtcurve tooltips are just black rectangles
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 something bright, you will be able to read the black text. Presumably this needs to be fixed in the KDE defaults. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876461 Title: Under KDE w/ qtcurve tooltips are just black rectangles To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/876461/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 762475] Re: Alternate installer asking to insert disc - 11.04 Beta 2 AMD64
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 you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762475 Title: Alternate installer asking to insert disc - 11.04 Beta 2 AMD64 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Oh, sorry, what I meant was that I used the final Natty 11.04 AMD64 alternate cd -- not the beta. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762475 Title: Alternate installer asking to insert disc - 11.04 Beta 2 AMD64 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 247341] Re: British English dictionary is incomplete
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 the -ize endings in general, it's a difficult call. The OED lists -ize endings, but they don't seem to be in very common use these days. I could agree with a dictionary that included the -ise endings only, or one that included both -ise and -ize, I think. Wiktionary seems to do quite a good job of indicating British spellings. I wonder if there is a way of extracting the information from there, rather than trying to do an automated conversion of an American dictionary into a British one. -- British English dictionary is incomplete https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247341 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 247341] [NEW] British English dictionary is incomplete
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 English, you prise
with a crowbar, but win a prize. ('Prizefighter' and various similar
words are in the dictionary, presumably because it doesn't have an -ize
ending, technically speaking.)
- 'Burglarise' (or -ize) is not used in British English; the equivalent
word is 'burgle'.
- 'Cauterise' - the preferred spelling is 'cauterize'. Even with words
like this, s/ize$/ise/ doesn't always work. :-(
- 'Crystallise' - ditto.
- 'Technicolor' (capital T) is a trademark and therefore retains the
American spelling 'color'. 'technicolour' (small T) means garishly
coloured. Presumably both spellings should be in the dictionary.
These are just a few examples, unfortunately there seem to be quite a
lot of similar cases. Some affect quite common words, like 'prize',
while others are rather obscure. Tracing them all will be a bit of a
bother, unfortunately, but at the moment people using the Ubuntu
applications with a spellchecker in the UK are going to get odd results.
By the way I've checked the examples I gave with the Collins Dictionary.
I don't trust myself when it comes to spelling. :-)
