Change in WB Behavior in V10.5 vs. V10.46 beta (Win7)

from JoeUser Forums

Just FYI for devs.

Have two rigs, both Win7ProSP1, both using the same skin (slightly modified Primavera by essorant), both using Firefox 50.1.0 with same theme and plugins.

One rig still has WB 10.46 beta, the other WB10.5.

The rendering of tab text in FF changed with 10.5 - rendered in white in 10.46 beta, in black in 10.5.


All the best & Happy New Year!

10.5 altered how text rendered on FireFox tabs to try to better workaround a bug in FireFox itself for inactive tabs.

Good to know it was intentional, Neil.  Thx.

As it happens, having no issues in FF with 10.46 beta so will probably roll back to it on the other rig to make the tabs readable again.

The tabs should be readable as tabs themselves are white are they not?

Black text on white seems like a good thing.

The particular FF theme I'm using (Glass - Blood) has a 'darkish' tab color that makes the black text harder to read.  Not impossible, just much easier with white tab text.  I could always change themes, but I like this one.

Thanks again, Neil.
