What program did you use to make the changes? I need to be able to explain to the developers how to reproduce this bug so they can see it and then fix the problem.

Thanks,

Chris Cheney

I can't reproduce this problem easily and looking at the theme DarkRoom that comes with Ubuntu it seems to work although it is not using black/white it using light brown text on dark brown background which works in OOo.

I'm testing 10.04 Netbook Edition right now and with the default theme the menu headers in OpenOffice are impossible to read, eg. black text on brown background. The text color on the expanded menu is white so there's no problem there, it's just the menu headers that should be white and not black.

I second this problem - with windows black and main menu fonts black it is impossible to see OpenOffice.org 3.2 main menu.

[Kevin Smith (kev-facemelt)]

I can confirm this issue in Ubuntu 9.10 and OOO310m19 (Build:9420)

Using a black theme with white menu text, menu headers display black text, making it impossible to read. Menu headers in all other applications display correctly (white text).
