Merge lp:~3v1n0/unity/fixed-bad-quicklist-items-drawing into lp:unity

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

Fixed the drawing of the radios or checkmarks quicklist menu items

When using quicklist menu-items containing radios or checkmarks, unity draws them incorrectly.
First of all, the Active logic is inverted (unactive items were marked, while active were not), then the disabled status was causing an incorrect drawing.

This is an example code that underlines the issue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/788515/
You can see the issue in this screenshot: http://go.3v1n0.net/vhgofi

This branch fixes these issues, and this is the expected result: http://ubuntuone.com/5avZ10Lrd8MFxnBmRIOJfQ
(of course now it works well also when an item is prelighted)

I've not added a manual test since for the graphic nature of the issue, I guess it's hard to automatically test it (and autopilot doesn't help at all, clearly). So, let me know if this is ok.

[Mirco Müller (macslow)]

Mostly looking good, but can you update the TestQuicklistMenuitems.cpp with the code-example you posted please.

review: Needs Fixing

[Mirco Müller (macslow)]

Still can't compile/test this branch (make standalone-clients) as I get errors: https://pastebin.canonical.com/58842 this is not an issue of a stale libunity-core in my staging directory, I made sure that's not the case. Got to poke Alex about this, when he's online.

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

My clients were still working from an UI side, however I've rewritten the TestQuicklist to use the nux testing framework to check the events.

There are still compilation issues with other standalone clients, but you can just check these ones by doing make quicklist-visuals && make quicklist on your standalone-clients build subdir.

[Andrea Azzarone (azzar1)]

You've copied the entire nux test framework in the unity directory. Is it really a good idea?

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

Yes, I've done what Jay told me.
That's the only possible thing until Jay won't make that interface public (planned, but not done yet).

So, for now we must do this.

Ok, if the plan is to make the interface public, I can approve.
