   Looks like CSS rules are not being applied. As Kaz suggested, view

   something wrong in your lighttpd configuration that doesn't map
   correctly your static files paths as RC [...]
 
 I am able to follow all the css/foo/bar links without incident.
 Diffing the two sources is complicated by the fact that the apache
 server is running a much older RC version, so a diff would be tainted
 with expected differences due to changes from 0.3.x - 0.5.x.
 
 Would it be helpful if I posted the problematic address here?  I'm not
 sure if that violates some sort of mailing list protocol.

Although the INSTALL document recommends the inclusion of text/css in
Lighty's compress.filetype array, removing text/css (i.e. not
compressing css) restores normal UI behavior.  I am not entirely
satisfied with this, but it is a sufficient workaround for now.

Good work. Okay, so the problem would seem to be in the
compression or decompression. Might it be a issue in lighthttpd?

You're missing just perhaps one more step in your excellent root-cause
analysis.

Namely, google for lighthttpd broken compression.

First hit:

Lighthttpd - css files broken if mod_compress enabled on lighttpd
1.4.26

That would be the obvious conclusion but such diagnosis is too general
and, thus, incomplete.  For example, other css-employing web sites
served by the same lighttpd instance are unaffected by css compression.

 analysis.

I think more than one step is missing.  Indeed, that is why I am on this
seeking help from the experts.

 Namely, google for lighthttpd broken compression.

Been there; done that.

 First hit:

Yes, I noticed this when I conducted similar google queries several days
ago.

 Lighthttpd - css files broken if mod_compress enabled on lighttpd
 1.4.26
 
 http://redmine.lighttpd.net/boards/2/topics/4226

A careful reading of that link will reveal nuanced differences between
the issue reported by telix and my problem.

The OP in that thread is apparently referring to broken css files even
when text/css is not explicitly set in compress.filetype.  What I have
reported above is that RC behaves as desired when text/css is not set
in compress.filetype, but I did not have to disable mod_compress!  In my
testing, it is *only* when compress.filetype is configured to compress
text/css does the problem manifest itself in various browsers.
Compressing other mimetypes is just fine, does not cause any problems,
and there is no apparent breakage of css or RC.

So, I would appreciate if others who are using lighttpd + roundcube
0.5.4 (or more recent trunk) *and* compressing text/css mimetype would
share their lighttpd configurations as they related to RC.

In the meantime, I will continue to investigate for root causes and
report my findings.

Thanks,
