Bug Description

[Impact]

When a user hovers over a row in a GtkTreeView, it collapses and becomes unreadable. The only alternative to make this work, before the fix, is to switch themes from the default Lubuntu theme.

[Test Case]

Install Lubuntu 18.04 and try to use an application such as Exaile which uses GtkTreeView. All text should be visible and shouldn't collapse, hiding the text, unless the application author intended it (which Exaile didn't).

[Regression Potential]

If the underlying GTK library handling theming changes in a breaking way (which is rare in a stable release but commonplace in the development release) this could very well regress.

[Original Description]

The rows in a GtkTreeView with separators glitch as you move your mouse over it in Lubuntu 18.04 fresh install.

Spotted in Exaile music player (originally reported as https://github.com/exaile/exaile/issues/527).

The issue disappears after switching to a different widget style, e.g. Clearlooks.
The issue didn't exist in Lubuntu 16.04 default theme.

A similar bug fixed in Ubuntu Ambiance theme https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-themes/+bug/1701512

[Other Info]

This only affects Bionic because Cosmic and on does have the Box theme anymore.

Hi, thanks for the bug report.

Could you please test my fix in ppa:tsimonq2/sru-testing and tell me if that fixes it? Maybe try a few other applications and see if everything's working properly?

Thank you.

Hi Simon,

your fix works like a charm, the GtkTreeView is behaving properly in Exaile now!
Unfortunately I don't know any other apps that use GtkTreeView specifically. I just can confirm that I don't see any regressions in the apps I do use.

Thanks!

Hi Konstantin,

I am uploading this fix to the Bionic queue now. I would be very grateful if you could help complete the Stable Release Update verification when an SRU Team member accepts this upcoming work week and leaves a comment here.

Thanks again for your patience.

I've upgraded all the following packages to version 0.71.1 from bionic-proposed:
- lubuntu-artwork
- lubuntu-artwork-18-04
- lubuntu-icon-theme
- lubuntu-lxpanel-icons
- plymouth-theme-lubuntu-logo
- plymouth-theme-lubuntu-text

Rebooted and spent around a day using the apps as usual.

The bug that was appearing in Exaile before the upgrade is fixed now.
I didn't notice any regressions in Exaile or in any other apps I used.

Looks good to me!
