Hi,

I don't know if Max Rudberg is looking at these forums, but I'd like to report an issue I'm having with Milk 3.2, ShapeShifter 2.1.1 and Microsoft Entourage.

In Entourage, the menu that pops up in the address fields of a new message is displayed with white text on a white background.

I don't know what is causing this because I had no issue with Panther. This behavior only occurs under Tiger. So maybe it is not Milk in itself, but rather a small glitch in ShapeShifter.

If you can fix the theme in next version, that would be nice.

Many thanks,

Raf

How about a screen shot so that we can see what you're talking about. That would make it much easier to fix.

It's probably me, but the text parts you haven't covered look like black on white background

My problem lies not there (I just hide friend's emails), but on the third line, where my email address should be listed.

I forgot in my first post to mention that that problem occurs for the selected item in that list.

As the text is white and the background too, it is just not shown

With other themes and under Panther this doesn't occur.

Raf, it'd help if you showed a before and after screenshot. And make up some fake person so you don't have to blackup anyone.

Actually, using another theme might help:



This screenshot is done in the same circumstances with Samui. It uses a similat coloring, i.e. the text turns white, but here there's a blue highlight color that allows me to see the address.
