[Fabounet <fabounet03@xxxxxxxxx>]

thank you for the screenshots.

"menu item backgrounds sometimes become (and remain) entirely transparent
after the mouse has passed over them."
for me, this sounds like a bug either in GTK (or the gtk theme engine, for
instance Adwaita) or in the WM.
the dock doesn't draw the menu items (only the menu background), and just
apply a custom CSS style to the menus.
this css style overwrites the one defined by the GTK theme of your desktop,
depending on this theme, there might be some parameters that are not
overwritten by our css; that could explain the wrong text color, but
certainly not the random loss of color.

so to go further, what if you change the GTK theme (for another that
supports GTK3) ?
and what you use another WM than OpenBox ?

about the position, menus are actually supposed to pop above the icon, not
upon it, maybe a problem with the WM ?

Title:
  Menu transparency behaves strangely

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1. In the menus (applications menu, right-click menus), items often
  lose their backgrounds (become fully transparent) when the mouse has
  touched them (and they stay that way until the menu is closed and re-
  opened.

  2.  AFAICT, the menus use the default fill, and there's no way through
  the GUI (I haven't tinkered around with the config files yet) to
  override this.  Worse, I can find no way to set the text colour, so
  the menus in the theme I'm building currently appear black on black.
  This may be me being stupid.

  My setup: Cairo-Dock 3.3.99.beta1, Lubuntu Trusty 64bit, (currently
  running on OpenBox without LXDE), Compton, Intel GM965/GL960 graphics.
  I've attached an affected theme.
