Yes, seen that too. This persists in the updated installer, at least in my XP VM.
I have a similar problem. My img: https://bug736084.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/at My case: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736084
The user of bug 736084 solved the issue by deleting one's .gimp folder. Please *DO NOT* do so. Try to move the folder (or rename it), then start GIMP. Check if the problem is fixed. If it is, please send us the .gimp folder as a compressed file so that we can study it and find the origin of the problem. Thanks.

I don't see a ".gimp" folder to rename or move. what directory should it be found in?
I found a gimp folder as a sub folder within the 32 folder. I renamed it and launched gimp, but the problem persists. By the way, I am running this program on a 64 bit windows 7 computer.
Actually the file is named ".gimp-2.8" and will be found under %UserProfile% (just type "%UserProfile%" in the file browser, and you'll get there). My bad, I should have been more accurate.
I renamed that folder then opened gimp. the problem persists, so that didn't resolve the issue.
Thanks for trying. If you had set up any custom preferences (shortcuts, brushes, dynamics, plugins, whatever…), you may want to get your old .gimp-2.8 folder back where it was. That's where everything is stored. A new bare .gimp-2.8 folder will have been regenerated with every settings by default after a GIMP restart, you can just delete this one and get the old back with the right name. If you had no custom settings or plugins, well you don't care.

I am referred here from bug 739212, dealing with wrong highlighting on the menu in windows 7. Renaming my.gimp-2.8 did not affect the black-text-on-dark-blue. Larry
Renaming the personal .gimp directory was suggested here to get rid of any custom GTK+ themes a user might have set up - GIMP does only use the MS Windows theme engine by default. For you, this seems to happen with that engine - probably due to the accessibility options you've set. This would make it a possible bug in GTK+, but not necessarily related to this one, and the part about renaming the .gimp-2.8 directory wouldn't apply in this case.

I'm sorry I haven't been back in here of late. I upgraded to 2.8.14, and the issue persists. I opened the GIMP, and found the File menu Open is right, but I pictured Open As Layers in my screenshot. Now while I have nothing loaded into the GIMP, I was able to see my way to an Open dialog to open as layers. Running Windows 7 Ultimate,32 bit

Does this still happen with 2.8.22?
