2017-03-21 14:37:44 quequotion summary some GTK widgets have black backgrounds GtkScrolledWindow widgets (GTK3) have black or transparent backgrounds with Ayatana overlay-scrollbar
2017-03-21 14:37:44 quequotion description Some GTK widgets have a black background. So far I have noticed this happening in g-c-c, gedit tab bar and dconf-editor details pane. This only happens when the applications are launched from gnome-shell, they work correctly when launched from a terminal. I can reproduce on both my machines that were upgraded from Q, but not a fresh install.

Without composting these areas are black (openbox, gnome-shell) and with composting they are transparent (compiz, compton). Other visual glitches include content within the widget not clearing on redraw (everything becomes a cluttered mess) and with composting any content appearing under the transparent area on initial window mapping is retained (as if that were the widget background).

For example, pavucontrol: https://ibb.co/eiRcBF Description from duplicate bug 1367764: The overlay scrollbar module forces the window that should be scrolled to be native. Gtk is moving away from native windows and seems to have some hard-to-find regressions when using them. This causes a bunch of themeing issues (black/transparent backgrounds) which can be worked around in the theme by setting backgrounds for these widgets explicitely. That's a performance issue (since we're filling backgrounds unnecessarily) and annoying, as these have to be only some of the time for some widgets (e.g., GtkEventBox). Porting overlay-scrollbars to not use native windows might be worthwhile if we decide to keep them.
