GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 526921
Menu selection text not visible
Last modified: 2008-04-12 16:01:34 UTC
Please describe the problem: When selecting a menu item, the text of that item disappears as soon as it is clicked or, at the next level down, when the cursor hovers over it. The small icon however remains visible. The program was installed using Windows XP SP2 compatibility under Vista 64bit so it wouldn't surprise me if this is a compatibility issue. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Dia v0.96.1 2. Click on a top-level menu item 3. Move the cursor down over the available options Actual results: Upon clicking (step 2) or hovering (step3), the menu item text disappears and a white rectangle is displayed. Expected results: The text should remain visible Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800 @ 2.00 GHz, 4GB Ram on MSI 7185 mainboard Radeon X1900 in ATI 32-bit 1024x768 resolution
Thanks for this report. I don't have Vista 64bit available for testing. I cannot reproduce the problem using Windows 2000 so your guess might be correct. Do other GTK+ programs like GIMP have the same problem?
looks like a Gtk+ issue fixed for gtk-2-12 (you should be able to work around it by using the gtk+ native theme) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 392015 ***
Thanks for the information. If you don't know how to switch to the GTK+ native theme, the following might help you: Just rename the folder c:\Program Files\Dia\share\themes\MS-Windows
