Bug #17104	Menu selection and text selection colouring wrong.

Description:
- In the menu selection, the "hovering" menu selection comes up dark blue on black, this is rather hard to read.
- In the menus, disabled items come up the same gray-over-gray color (eg: don't show up at all). Though I don't really need to see the disabled items it's a bit annoying. Also note that when the "hover selection" shows up, they show up as gray on blue (as expected an at least readable, but still annoying).
- In the query multiline editbox, the selected text shows up as white on white... Also rather annoying.

As mentioned, the computer on which it runs on has no themes enabled. The service is stopped and I don't wish to enabled it. Not only does every other application render these fine, but this is actually a regression since it worked fine in prior versions (sorry, I don't remember that last version in which it worked properly. I know 1.1.18 has PART of the problems, but not necessarely all - it seems to get worst as the versions increase, hence this report...)

Administrator 1.1.7 has the same issue.

How to repeat:
Start QB/Admin, select text or open menu.

I have seen similar results on my machine with 1.1.19 and text selection.  Text selection is does not apper in the 'SQL Query Area' or appears white on white.

1.1.17 does not have this issue.

Thank you for the bug report.

Bug http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=17189 is duplicate of this bug.

Is there a workaround on this?  It is so annoying that I am having to manually locate old versions to rollback all of our machines at work over this bug.  Is this problem actually related to themes?  I mean this happens on 100% of our machines and is an immediately obvious bug is there something different about our environment that the Windows developers did not see this?

Thanks for the 1.1.20 fix!

As for the comment about rolling back, it's just easthetics... I don't think people will die having the wrong colour sheme... It's still quite usable.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has already been fixed in the latest released version of that product, which you can download at
