FireFox 3 Beta and Radio Buttons

[rogue]

Radio buttons won't select in FF 3 Beta unless I do:

• Select the radio button, it shows as highlighted but it's not checked
• I then click anywhere in a free spot on the page and the radio button becomes checked

This is only happening in Kubuntu Hardy, it's not happening in Xubuntu Hardy (which I have on a different computer). I don't have an Ubuntu Hardy install to test against. It's been happening since I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm having the same problem.
If the problem is with Firefox 3 I guess this issue should be resolved in the stable version of Firefox 3 or the next beta release if they plan to.

It's a bit annoying, you think you've clicked, but your uncertain if it's checked or not : P

i know. i've been searching through the bug list but i don't see anything listed in launchpad. trying to figure out where i should report the bug. like i said, i'm not seeing on my Xubuntu laptop. only on my Kubuntu desktop computer.

Re: FireFox 3 Beta and Radio Buttons

Yeah, your right.
I've tried is myself.

sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-qtcurve

Then

go to System Settings/Appearance/GTK Styles and fonts and Set: Use another style - QtCurve.

Restart Firefox & it should work.
