They become un-blacked out when a new tab is opened. The tabs menu is also affected.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the blacked-out DrRacket menu items on Ubuntu/Unity with Racket 6.6, comparing the initial window with the state after opening a new tab. Check whether the font controls and tabs menu render correctly from the start; done means the menu items are visible without opening another tab.
