[SOLVED] forms looking strange in opera since upgrade to gnome 3.4

Hi!

I just upgraded my gnome installation to gnome 3.4 and now I see some strange rendering effects in opera regarding forms.

First problem is that text fields now have an inner border. This creates a 3D effect but looks kind of strange because the text overlaps this inner border:

The second (and more severe) problem is that entries of a drop-down menu disappear when they are hovered:

I searched through gnome's and opera's theme settings but couldn't find any option that could change this behaviour. I also tried removing the .opera directory but it also didn't help.

Can anyone confirm these problems and has anyone an idea how to fix it?

Greetings,
Michael

PS: The screenshots were taken in this forum (search form) but can be seen on all other websites with standard forms.

edit:
fixed in opera 12 build 1406 (currently beta status and only available on AUR)

Perhaps you have aldabra set as the gtk+ theme in gnome-tweak-tool.

Good idea, but it's set to Adwaita.

-- edit:

ok, this is definately a problem with opera and the new version of Adwaita. If I use the old Adwaita version, that's included in gnome-themes-standard-3.2.1-1, as GTK+ theme both problems are solved. But then other things look weird...

I reported this to the opera team. A workaround is to set "Dialog Toolkit" to 1 (qt) or 4 (neither gtk nor qt) in opera:config.

Adwaita css changed considerably between 3.2 and 3.4 and this uncovered bug in Opera gtk theming. This bug is now fixed, you will be able to test it in 12 beta release or soon after (definitely before 12 final).
