Native-like Monkey Menu needs fixes or roll-back

[arantius]

The monkey menu after #2805 looks a lot better. Except the little "next page" arrows look awkward when there are enough install scripts to trigger a scroll bar:

It seems like the scroll bar layers on top of, rather than beside, the content.

RIP, I remember testing this and not having any problems. Must be platform / X environment dependent. Of course, aesthetic compatibility is ideal.

This change needs either fixes or to be backed out.

See above problem, and issues mentioned in #2650, and I also get visual glitches on Windows. On Windows every line seems much taller than on Linux, and if I scroll down I get:

A bunch of non-erased garbage behind the real elements at the bottom. If I scroll slowly, I can see each item, as it should disappear of the top instead pop in at the bottom, then disappear after a few further pixels of scrolling.

If I click into one script, the scroll bar keeps the height of the main view, giving me lots of nothing to scroll into. If I do and scroll back up, I get black flashes. If I do so slowly, they don't flash, I can get:

Quite a lot of visual corruption.

Can confirm the scrollbar and the "garbage". Happened to me as well (win system)...

The visual glitches aren't strictly caused by the changes.

There's some Bugzilla posts about these issues. Of course, rolling back until Mozilla gets their shit together is always possible.

Maybe I haven't looked closely before (testing profiles usually don't have enough scripts installed to scroll...) but even if the cause is a buggy platform, I can't recall seeing things like this before.

but even if the cause is a buggy platform, I can't recall seeing things like this before.

It's probably that the old styles didn't cause the issue to be prominent. I have a css fix that'll deal with the scrollbar, and somewhat resolve the graphical glitches, and inadvertently fix #2694 (lol).

I'll post shortly.

Fixed by #2818 .
