a new wrinkle - hadn't noticed but the menu options in OpenOffice are now only visible if you pass the mouse cursor over them.
weird.
the laptop is an ASUS UX305F.
no such problems until Stretch. of course, I may have mangled the update somehow.
tried a reboot also. this thing usually runs 24/7.

Hi Felmon
I've experience that before. It's a theming problem. Change your gtk settings on kcontrol until you find one that works and that you like. Install gtk theme to use.
For gtk2, I use qtcurve. You need to install both tde and kde versions. For gtk3, I use default or adwaita.
For fonts I use tde fonts.
Good luck, let me know if this helps.
