Description blackhole 2010-04-03 23:25:09 UTC
Hi,

I was having a problem with the latest Windows build in Windows 7 where lists within Gnumeric were not showing (for example you cannot see a list of drives in the file dialog, a list of items in a text import etc). However, if you hovered the cursor over where an item would be, the item would appear.

Having updated GTK+ the problem didn't go away, however after some experimentation I found that if you:

- Right click on the shortcut in the start menu, and select properties.
- Go to Compatability.
- Select the Compatability tab.
- Check the box "Disable visual themes".
- Click OK.

Then the problem will be solved.

I wanted to document this here just in case other users were experiencing the same problems. :)

Thanks very much!
