Re: Firefox and Thunderbird show selected menu items blank

This has happened before ... Firefox and Thunderbird today started

could rant for days about the stupidity of this, but what's even
more exasperating is that it's next to impossible to find the place
wherin I can change this in the preferences.

I also have Mozilla's old browser, and it's not doing it.

The "theme" of my desktop may be the culprit, but I haven't a clue
what my default is, nor what will happend when I pick another one.

Let's see if we can find the setting. Please post the output of:

grep 'bg\[PRELIGHT\]' ~/.gtk*

(Run this command as your normal user.)

The change occurred after a series of resets that I had to invoke in
order to escape from lockups resulting from attempts to open a
large file (another question I had today).

Oh, yeah. It has been suggested that I disable the screensaver in
order to avoid these lockups; this new menu behavior first became
apparent after doing that.

Thanks,
George
