#4363 Subject lines in certain areas show up with white background
Mozilla Firefox 3.0.10, with NoScript and AdBlock Plus installed, on Windows XP SP2.
I have NoScript set to allow everything on Slashdot, and I even tried disabling Adblock Plus. I browse in Nested mode. The resolution on this screen is 1280x1024, character encoding is set to UTF-8.
Here's the URL in my screenshot: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/05/28/1330226/KOffice-200-Now-Open-For-Firefox-Like-Extensions
I tried a couple things:
- If I go to the article.pl link: http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/05/28/1330226
everything shows up fine.
- If I go to the comments.pl link: http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?threshold=1&mode=nested&commentsort=0&op=Change&sid=1248115
everything shows up fine.
- If I log out, everything shows up fine.
I also have this problem, I managed to locate what's causing it on the client side at least via Firebug;
First screenshot is me logged in with no white title background;

the second is me logged out, with colour;

Each image also shows Firebug detecting the relevant CSS that is associated with the 'title' class. When I'm logged in, I do not get the background image included.
I have in the past enabled the old "simple design" which you seem to have changed now and things don't seem to have been carried over so well :P
It happens only on articles that use the green/teal color scheme, and only when I'm logged in.
I suspect there's a CSS class with an invalid background color spec, which then defaults to white.
This is the same as bugs 2800590 and 2800608. See the comments on 2800590 for a more complete description of how to reproduce it.
