Bug 82131 – [Mac] REGRESSION (r110480): Text field that specifies background-color (or is auto-filled) gets un-themed border

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Layout and Rendering

After <http://trac.webkit.org/r110480> (the fix for bug 80888), text fields lose their Mac look if they specify a background color.

<rdar://problem/11115221>

The change made us consider the text field to be “styled”.

r=me, but consider the style comments above and don't forget to take out the NSLog.

This comment is a bit long, any way to get the point across more succinctly? I think the key point is that this is a temporary workaround and in principle should not be required to turn off background drawing.

This also seems a bit verbose, and I'm still not clear just from this comment why we special case based on scale factor. I would suggest just pointing to the other comment.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/RenderThemeMac.mm:2183
> +#if !defined(BUILDING_ON_LION) && !defined(BUILDING_ON_SNOW_LEOPARD)

I would suggest reversing the polarity of the #if to match the others in this patch.

I would suggest summarizing a bit more here. Maybe more of the explanation can be in the ChangeLog, since the full context isn't clear anyway in the three separate large-ish comments.
