Firefox menus not displayed correctly

hjnenc

I am currently giving firefox I try. It mostly works but I have the following problem with the menus: when I move the mouse pointer over a menu item the background color of the item changes to a light grey and the item text disappears. Its again displayed, when the pointer is moved to another item.

Is this just on my system or is it a general problem?

What kind of WM or DE are you using?

I have seen some strange menus when I set transparancy on KDE menus.

If you use any form of transparancy, turn it off and see if it helps.

I am running gnome, latest stable x86 version (out of the box - no special configurations made). No transparancy used.
The strange thing is, it happens only with firefox. The menus in all other applications are OK.

It sometimes happens when you change GTK+ theme without restarting Firefox.

I experimented a bit with other themes downloaded from the mozilla site and found out that the problem appears only with some of them. The themes where I could reproduce this problem are:
"Firefox (default) 2.0"
"GNOME-FX 1.0.0"
