This bug is extracted from bug 57307. See my comments from [2000-10-25 02:39] and [2000-10-26 18:25]. We should remove all the cases where the opacity is set to 99%. It makes no sense and I imagine it can only use more CPU power than having opacity set to 100%.

See bug 58517 about ekrock's suggestion to the name of the property.

got the patch? should we take it for m0.8 to get some testing or performance kick? if not, then change the milestone.

Moving to Mozilla0.9

The only places where opacity is set to .99 is in the image map editor. Removing these lines from image map editor makes image map editor work on OS/2 since we don't support opacity yet. We will be attaching a diff in a minute and humbly begging to get this into .8. We just realized that this was a problem on OS/2 this morning.

Back to moz0.8 + reassigned to Michael who's got the fix and a CVS account. Ask ben@netscape.com or sfraser@netscape.com for approval.

cmanske, brade: do we know why the image editor used opacity of .99 everywhere?

It was only being used in one place to "wash out" the image for the High Contrast feature. This feature is now soon to be taken out as it was not functioning anyway.

mkaply, is this something you're interested in getting in for 0.8?

Asa. Yes definitely. I was waiting for an sr= so I could send it to drivers. Without this fix, the hotspot editor doesn't work on OS/2.

sr=sfraser

a=asa for checkin on the 0.8 branch

Fix checked in on branch. Leaving open until trunk opens so I can get it on the trunk.

Netscape's standard compliance QA team reorganised itself once again, so taking remaining non-tables style bugs. Sorry about the spam. I tried to get this done directly at the database level, but apparently that is "not easy because of the shadow db", "plus it screws up the audit trail", so no can do...

Fix checked in to trunk

We finally have the explanation as of why someone set the opacity to 99% in the ImageMap Editor files... See bug 92282: when the opacity is 100%, we can't change it dynamically; when it is 99%, we can.
