kompoZer is an ( old ) WYSIWYG content editor. To replicate simply open one of the pull down menues File/Edit/View/Insert/Format/Table/Tools/Help and the selections will be blackened out. Probably needs to be recompiled with the new GTK or something. This bug also occurs in M4. Aside from this kompoZer is long since died. It has been forked to: http://bluegriffon.org/ I have downloaded a Bluegriffon: bluegriffon-1.5.1-1.fc16.i686.rpm and installed that just fine on M4. Are we too far along with M5 to replace kompoZer with Bluegriffon? FWIW Bluegriffon also exhibits the same blackened pull down menus. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Whiteboard: (none) => 5alpha2
Summary: KompoZer pull down menues are blackened out => KompoZer pull down menus are blackened out
Known issue, although I was surprised I couldn't find another Mageia bug report for it. We do have a package request for bluegriffon in Bug 3132. It's not as simple as rebuilding, as we've done that before Mageia 4 already. Of course, if BlueGriffon does the same thing, that doesn't help us.

Would it be easier to just scrap KompoZer and go to Bluegriffon rather then fix KompoZer or is it just a push?
I don't know. If they both have the same problem, it's probably the same bug with the same fix. However, I doubt we'll be the ones fixing it unless another distro finds/makes a patch. In that case, not many distros have bluegriffon packaged, so higher likelihood with kompozer. If upstream fixes it, kompozer is dead upstream, so only chance there is with bluegriffon. Anyway, if bluegriffon was easy to package we'd have already done it years ago...
Could you try to launch kompozer and/or bluegriffon in a terminal with OXYGEN_APPLICATION_NAME_OVERRIDE=xulrunner OXYGEN_APPLICATION_NAME_OVERRIDE=xulrunner kompozer OXYGEN_APPLICATION_NAME_OVERRIDE=xulrunner bluegriffon Is there the same problem, or does it work better?

(In reply to Luc Menut from comment #4) > OXYGEN_APPLICATION_NAME_OVERRIDE=xulrunner kompozer Wow! How bout that. That worked perfectly. I'll try bluegriffon later but I bet it works there too.
This should be fixed in Cauldron with oxygen-gtk-1.4.6-1.mga5 (without needing to use OXYGEN_APPLICATION_NAME_OVERRIDE=xulrunner). I plan to update oxygen-gtk for mga4 in coming weeks.

For the record, an update (oxygen-gtk-1.4.6-2.mga4) for this issue has been pushed to Mageia Updates repository. http://advisories.mageia.org/MGAA-2015-0004.html
