screenshot showing weird menu rendering

See enclosed screenshot. Most but not all menu items are rendering in this way. Active items clean up on mouse-over, look fine afterward. 

This may not be a GIMP issue:
a) I haven't seen it before (haven't used GIMP in ~6 months)
b) noticed error under 2.6.1, realized that it was an ancient release, so I downloaded latest from the GIMP on OSX site. Problem continues. 

But submitting it anyway, in case someone finds it useful to know about it.

Comment 3 Jon Kiparsky 2011-03-20 04:32:49 UTC 
Two further observations:
-tools menu also shows the same bug, in reverse. Here, the text starts off fine, then distorts when the mouse goes over it. 
-opened an image, and GIMP displays a very grainy and distorted version of it. The distortions are not persistent - saving a copy of the image, it displays fine in other viewers. 

Attachments attached.

The UI is not rendered by GIMP, it's rendered by GTK+. Also, we
don't provide "GIMP on OSX", it's an external site. Please report this
to the "GIMP on OSX" people because only they can say which version of
GTK+ is used, and might be able to help you.

Thanks - I'll take it to the right people.
