This is a re-post from FreeBSD forum
Firefox on my computer expresses a weird UI issue where many controls
are rendered without their borders. For example, radios or checkboxes
can be selected but are invisible, since they have no border. Also
selecting text doesn't highlight the selected part of the text. I can
select and copy the selection even if the selection is invisible.
This was also happening with other applications that are using GTK3.
Since I observed this issue I switched most of them back to GTK2 and the
issue is gone, however the option to use GTK2 instead of GTK3 is not
available in all of them, i.e. in gMTP and Firefox among others.
I am using poudriere and wanted to track down which repository/option is
responsible for this issue. I created a new repository where I compiled
Firefox with all its dependencies with default options. But I don't know
how to reinstall Firefox with all its dependencies?
I tried:
pkg install -r firefox-test -R -f www/firefox
pkg upgrade -r firefox-test -f www/firefox
Both of them reinstall only the Firefox package. There is 241
dependencies when building Firefox with default options so it's kind of
difficult to reinstall all of them manually. How do I force to also
reinstall dependencies?
