What is your OS?
There is no ribbon in LibreOffice. There is a Notebookbar with 6 alternatives. Which one did you use?

Status set to NEEDINFO, please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once requested

Shows Main menus on tool bar with no text (or hidden due to same colours)

Clicking where the main menus are shows the pull down with the text. I suspect that the toolbar menu doesn't take up the theme colours of windows. This happens across all the office applications and Libre Office main loader window.

OS windows 7 & 10 it occurs.

After clicking main menu toolbar pull down menus shows

This shows that the text for the main toolbar menus are the same as the background colour for the toolbar.

Many thanks

This problem started for me yesterday on an existing install, after a power button forced shutdown (from a machine freeze which I have periodically likely due to dell/intel driver issue ... i.e. unrelated to LibreOffice).  I'd had calc open at the time, with a general view persona.  

6.0.1 Win10. Customized High contrast theme. 

Upon reboot, persona was lost, menu bar invisible until selecting - same as reported problem.  

Because of hard restart, I thought maybe LO corrupted, so I uninstalled and tried LO 6.0.6 and 6.1.1, and even back to 5.2.7 still same issue. 

I thought strange that I cannot use an older LO version that I used to use (with persona) and could see the menu.  Win update history shows last change 13Sept2018.  Dell update last change 21Sept2018, and rebooted automatically. I may not have rebooted since then. Tried Open GL on and off. No difference.  I initially tried to reinstall a theme, but themes not loading - found those reports. I'm considering trying 6.1.2 or creating an In-House persona to see if would fix/workaround.

Hope this helps. Thanks. Chris

Can see menu text using Win High contrast if use persona

Once I add an offline persona, that is blue with white text #fffff, I can now read the menu text. 
I still cannot see the sidebar icons. 
Both shown in the attachment.

LO 6.0.6.2. Win10
I followed directions from these posts (I can provide more details if requested)

this one looks helpful as well.

My new coolblue persona is listed in the Personalization options.
