Description Dave Hodgins 2012-04-13 05:22:47 CEST

With the current Mageia background for grub, if you press
f3 to edit kernel options, the text is black foreground with
a transparent background on a very dark part of the background
image making it impossible to read the text, at a point where
it is critical not to make typing mistakes.

I think the text should be black on a solid white background.

I guess it come with the updates of the gfxboot theme.

Can I have a screenshot? Cannot reproduce it here I have a grey background. See http://hupstream.com/~ennael/gfxboot_options.png

No, I can't.  Grub (as far as I know) doesn't support taking
screen shots. I tried taking a picture with my phone, but the
contrast between the text and the background is so low, that
the kernel options text that needs to be edited is not visible
in the image.

I can't try to reproduce this under Virtualbox, where I could
gram an image due to bug 3315.

From the image in comment 2, I think you need to press enter
once more, so the kernel options become editable, before you
will see the problem.
