Created an attachment (id=8300) [details] Screenshot. Please see screenshot. Thunderbird 52.1.1. x64 on Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon.
Created an attachment (id=8301) [details] 4.7.2 prerelease 12 it looks like the function getSystemColor(..) malfunctioned. (which is used in Windows to convert terms like "menubackground" into real colors from the system) maybe there is a compatibility problem with Linux. Try the attached test version, it should catch the error and return #000000 (black) which you can override. You should also see the name of the unrcecognized system color in the error console.
Dear Axel That patched version makes everything work fine, so far as I can see. No error message, no malfunction. Excellent. Thank you very much. However, I could see no error message in the console. But that may be because I am using the console incorrectly - I am new to it. I am unsure whether to mark this bug as fixed.

The error console doesn't always show messages which were sent before it was opened; OTOH, if messages are flying so fast you can't catch them, it may be useful to clear the console just before attempting the troublesome operation. Oh, and you may also need to set the console to display "all" messages, or at lease those of the kind you're interested in. > > I am unsure whether to mark this bug as fixed. > Axel, the assignee, will set the bug RESOLVED FIXED when he believes that his latest published fix is final and correct; then afterwards if you, the reporter, don't see the bug anymore in the circumstances where it used to happen, you can change RESOLVED to VERIFIED.
Tony, I couldn't see any reports at all in the console. And I still can't, no matter what I do. I don't want to spend any more time on this, I am afraid.

The upshot is that one of your "system" colors is set to black (it could be menu backgrounds) which you cam change by selecting any color or palette entry. I think the console entries can be also found in tools > Web developer > browser tools but it's complicated. As regards setting bug status to fixed I usually do it when I release the new version on AMO

Tools > Developer Tools > Developer Toolbox Then Console and make sure to enable the dropdowns JS > Warnings + Errors Logging > all (just click the menu item so it is highlighted will tick all boxes) Net and Server do not need to be enabled. Finally it is also possible to run console² and follow the instructions here: http://quickfolders.org/support.html
