Created attachment 140921 [details] screenshot with 'ghost' font (PNG) SUMMARY When renaming a category, after put focus on the name field, the contents shows a 'ghost' font over a a green background colour. This makes it very difficult to determine on which position I'm on in the name field. It also would be nice to have the field cleared for e.g. through the backspace key. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. select an existing category 2. click button 'Ren' 3. set focus on the field with the cursor/mouse OBSERVED RESULT a 'ghost' font in the field EXPECTED RESULT clean font, easy to read.

Minor point - is there any possibility of updating to a more recent version of KMM? You might consider an appimage, at least for testing. https://kmymoney.org/appimage.html. I don't think it should matter in this case, but always a good thing to try. The local components include things like various configuration settings, such as colors and themes - have you altered any of these from the defaults? One way to check for this is to create a new user and try KMM as that user.
Hi Jack I downloaded and launched the latest AppImage version (KMyMoney-5.1.2-94d7cf5-x86_64.AppImage). I appears that in the new version the layout of the edit window has changed (there is no 'Ren' button anymore). After right-mouse click of the particular category I can select the "rename" mode and there is not ghost font anymore. What puzzles me is that when I'm now launching the 'old' version (5.0.8) the behaviour is now the same as in the 5.1.2 version. But that's fine with me. I just have to embed the new version in my menu system. It seems that the problem is resolved now. A for now I will not test the old version with a new user as you've suggested. Thanks for your help.

I call this a "phase of the moon" problem. It's likely something subtle in some configuration setting, which got reset by using the new version, and no, that doesn't really make much sense to me either. I'll close for now - feel free to reopen if the problem recurs.
