Some options on about page incorrectly showing as modified

[Ryan J Ollos]

On one site that I manage some options are incorrectly showing as highlighted, running Trac 1.2.1:

The values in trac.ini are:

[browser]
color_scale = enabled
downloadable_paths = /trunk,/branches/*,/tags/*
hide_properties = svk:merge
intermediate_color =
intermediate_point =
newest_color = (255, 136, 136)
oldest_color = (136, 136, 255)
oneliner_properties = trac:summary
render_unsafe_content = disabled
wiki_properties = trac:description

None of the values in the [browser] section should be displaying as modified, but I have no idea what the problem might be.

I overlooked the obvious - BrowserModule, LogModule and ChangesetModule are disabled for this Trac instance. I wonder if we could render those values in a "missing" style. The criteria might be: there's no ConfigSection defined and the Option is not defined.

There is a related issue though. In this Trac instance ChangesetModule and LoginModule are subclassed and the base implementation is disabled. Almost all of the options of the subclassed modules are shown as modified even though they have the default values in trac.ini:

• [changeset]
  • max_diff_bytes
  • max_diff_files
  • wiki_format_messages
• [trac]
  • check_auth_ip
  • ignore_auth_case
• [timeline]
  • changeset_collapse_events
  • changeset_long_messages

[trac] auth_cookie_domain and auth_cookie_path are not shown as modified because their default value is empty.

Possibly related to #12457.

Also, the BoolOptions are not shown on the About Trac page if they are missing from trac.ini. This has been observed for [trac] check_auth_ip and ignore_auth_case, but I assume it's the case for all BoolOptions.
