Hello!

I've just moved to CiviCRM 4.5.5 on Drupal 7, and I'm having a problem where no text shows up in the search box when I'm typing in it. It appropriately suggests results as I type, so the ajax functionality is working fine, but I just can't see the text I'm typing. Suggestions? Before I type, I can see "Find Contacts" in the box, but when I type, no text is visible. Do I need to increase the height of the menu bar? If so, where in the CSS do I make that adjustment?

Whew! This is a big upgrade for us, from D6 to D7 and from CiviCRM 3.4.4 up to 4.5.5. Now I just need to remember how to do things I did many years ago when I first set up the site -- like how to remove the little man icon from the public member directory and how to theme my Drupal user profile pages so they're not out-of-the-box hideous. Frustrating to have forgotten all those things! :-)

Thanks.

Yep. The search is working fine. It's just that the text I type is invisible.

I'd just suck it up and use it as is, but I'm concerned that it will impact usability for my admins.

The search is fully functional -- I can type first name, last name, city, anything, and get Ajax suggestions. When I hit enter, the list of all contacts with that text string comes up. I just can't see what I'm typing.

Thanks for that advice! It looks like it's just inheriting a lot of stuff, so it's hard to see exactly where that inheriting is coming from, but I'll experiment with adding a font color specifically for the class "ui-autocomplete-input" and seeing if that fixes the problem. I can, in fact, see the text when I highlight it, so white text may be the culprit.
