[Bug 980715] [NEW] Menu bar is illegible grey on grey with GTK look and feel on default theme

 

Public bug reported:

On the default Ubuntu theme, using the GTK look and feel (the default
system look and feel on Ubuntu), menu bars are almost completely
illegible, to the point of being unusable. They use grey on a slightly
darker shade of grey. The menus themselves look fine, they use a light
grey background and dark grey text .

I assume it's picking up the wrong colour from the GTK theme. I haven't
actually tested other themes, it's possible that they would look better,
but it seems to me that it should be usable with the default theme.
Using other look and feels would also work around the problem, but
that's not a solution for similar reasons.
