A screenshot of the disappearing menu items

I installed Netbeans 7.2.1 (C/C++ pack) on Linux Mint Maya 14 (Cinnamon 1.6) and I noticed that the checkable items in the menus become white when checked. It occurs both on the main and context menus, and the only way to read the item text is to pass with the mouse over (please see attached screenshot).
I installed the same Netbeans version on Ubuntu 12.10 too, and problem do not occurs there.

Kind regards,
Guido

Please run some plain Swing app, e.g. SwingSet demo in JDK 1.6 folder and attach a screen shot of checked menu item. Also please attach your IDE log and reopen, thanks.

I installed the C/C++ version of Netbeans 7.2.1, so the Java plugin is not installed. Can this be the main cause of the problem? Tell me if I have to install it and retry. Additionally, I did not install any JDK, because Linux Mint 14 is shipped together with OpenJDK 7, that does not contain any example and Netbeans correctly installed with it. Any other part of the IDE is perfectly functional, except check/toggle menu items and menu borders that are white as the editor background, and that makes impossible to be read (you can check on the attached screenshot).

Regarding the message log, you can refer to the attachment I added to Bug #223040
(http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=223040), it's the same environment.

Thanks for the log, I don't see anything suspicious there.
Please try the SwingSet demo app and also try running with Oracle JDK, thanks.
