bug#20882: 24.3; The background color can't fill the buffer completely

[Chen, Chien-ting]

I used a theme in emacs 24, but recently, the background color just
filled area where characters are instead of the buffer completely. Even
though I killed the orignal ~/.emacs, and used command like customize-*
to change the theme to another one, it's not improved.

Thanks, but rather than asking us to follow-up several external sources,
please send us a self-contained, minimal, complete example that starts
from emacs -Q.

I'm experiencing the same problem, so I might be able top contribute.

This managed to reproduce it for me:

```
emacs -Q -l reproduce.el
```

Where reproduce.el is:

```
(require 'package)


(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/"))

(package-initialize)

(package-refresh-contents)

(package-install 'moe-theme)

(require 'moe-theme)

(moe-dark)
```

The operating system is openSUSE 13.2, running latest Emacs (from master).

Example:

  * Step:1 executing emacs  -Q in a terminal.


executing emacs -Q in a terminal.
the space in buffer without characters is slightly grey.

  * Step 2: M-: (set-face-background 'default "#303030")


M-: (set-face-background 'default "#303030")

the space in buffer without characters is still grey.

  * Step 3: M-x customize-face RET default RET


M-x customize-face RET default RET
background was set to #303030

  * Step 4: switching to /*scratch*/, putting the cursor to text of
    which background is "#303030", then C-u C-x =:



switching to *scratch*, putting the cursor to text of which background
is "#303030", then C-u C-x =:

Step 5: switch to a end of line, then C-u C-x =:

That's weird from the start. I don't know why that happens to you.

More people are running into this issue at the moment using the spacemacs
clone:

https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/5428

The bug seems to be unrelated to user-settings (i.e. I get the same bug
running emacs with a different user).

Apparently fixed by a Gtk update, so closing.
