Description Gérard Talbot (no longer involved) 2009-06-17 00:12:04 UTC

Version:           Konqueror (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Testcase:
http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/Konqueror4Bugs/disabled-button-dimmed.html

Expected results: A disabled HTML button element should be very easy to distinguish from an enabled HTML button element. A disabled HTML button element should look dimmed, grayed out.

When viewing/comparing an enabled input form control and a disabled input form control, we can clearly, easily distinguish the enabled one from the disabled one.

Actual results in Konqueror 4.2.4: there is no visual distinction whatsoever between a disabled HTML button element and an enabled HTML button element.

Reference: disabled: When set for a form control, this boolean attribute disables the control for user input. (...) it cannot receive user input
 coming from HTML 4.01, section 17.12.1 Disabled controls
