What theme do you use?
Comment 2 tvuong 2005-05-10 15:26:41 UTC 
System uses default "Simple" theme ...

Hi,
I'm having the same problem here in gentoo[1] with firefox/thunderbird AND
simple theme, so I think it could be a pango/mozilla thing related to simple
theme. Maybe it's a bug in simple theme... Simple theme with gtk apps work well
but with firefox/thunderbird it shows like the screenshots I attached. 

Also tried all other themes with firefox/thunderbird and none of them has this
problem (only simple theme has this problem).

[1] with gnome 2.10

This bug can be reproduced with gnome-2.12-livecd [1], simple as:

 - Download, burn and boot the gnome-2.12-livecd [1]
 - Change theme to "simple" theme, in System-Preferences -> Theme
 - Open firefox and navigate the menus.

So version of this bug is 2.12.x

Comment 0 says to "bring up any web browser (i.e firefox, mozilla, etc.)" and
comment 3 ff talk about firefox too. One should note that firefox/mozilla uses
their own drawing routines mimicking the gtk theme. Unless someone can reproduce
this under a GNOME application, this looks like a gecko bug.

Did anyone find out whether this was a FF or GNOME bug?
Comment 8 Kjartan Maraas 2006-12-02 13:16:42 UTC 
Can't reproduce. Closing as fixed.
