This is a lot to throw into one bug report. But if they are different bugs, they are awfully similar. Moreover I do not know whether to split this report, if it should be split, into two or into four reports. Throughout the STR, do not type the quotation marks or blanks; I have put the blanks in just for readablility. (1 ) Menus dropped down from the menu bar of the Basic editing window are blank or invisible. (1. 1) Start LibreOffice to the Start Center. Execution of other applications first changes the behaviour. (Well, I thought so at one point, but now I cannot reproduce that.) (1. 2) Type "<Alt>+T". Observe that the Tools menu has expanded and that it show readable options; this is the kind of behaviour that want, but we will not always see it later. (1. 3) Type "M O B". Program shows dialog "LibreOfficeDev Basic Macros"; pane "Macro from" shows "My Macros" > Standard > Module1 selected and pane "Existing Macros In: Module1" shows Main Selected. (1. 4) Type "<Alt>+E". Program shows window "My Macros & Dialogs.Standard - LibreOfficeDev Basic". (1. 5) Type "<Alt>+F". Program action expected: To drop down "File" menu, showing several options from "New>" to "Exit LibreOfficeDev". Observed on Windows: The word "File" in the menubar becomes faint and the program drops down a grey background where the dropdown menu should be. Observed on Linux: The word "File" in the menubar is reverse image. (1. 6) Type "<down-arrow>". Expected: to highlight "New". Observed: no change. (1. 7) Type "<right-arrow>". Expected: to open a submenu offering file types. Observed on Win: grey background where the submenu is expected. Observed on Linux: no visible change. (1. 8) Type "<left-arrow>". Observed on both platforms: program displays "File" menu, showing several options from "New>" to "Exit LibreOfficeDev". (1. 9) Type "C". Program closes the Basic editing window and displays Start Center. (2 ) Some dialogs called up from the Basic editing window are blank or transparent. (2. 1) In Start Center, type "<Alt>+H B". Program displays dialog "About LibreOfficeDev" with lots of information in the body of the dialog. This is different from what you will see in this dialog later. (2. 2) Type "<Esc>". Program closes the About dialog and returns focus to the Start Center. (2. 3) Type "<Alt>+T M O B". Program shows Dialog "LibreOfficeDev Basic Macros". (2. 3) Type "<Alt>+E". Program shows window "My Macros & Dialogs.Standard - LibreOfficeDev Basic". (2. 4) Type "<Alt>+H B". Program action expected: like step (2.1). Observed: The body of dialog "About LibreOfficeDev" is tranparent; the Basic code from editing pane shows through. (2. 5) Type "<Esc>". Program closes the dialog and returns focus to the Basic editing window. (2. 6) Type "<Alt>+F C". Program closes the Basic editing window and displays Start Center. (3 ) Calc and Writer called from the Basic editing window are also screwed up. (3. 3) Type "<Alt>+T M O B". Program shows Dialog "LibreOfficeDev Basic Macros". (3. 3) Type "<Alt>+E". Program shows window "My Macros & Dialogs.Standard - LibreOfficeDev Basic". (3. 4) Type "<Alt>+F N S". Program action expected: Workbook "Untitled 1" in a new window complete with menubar, taskbar, and grid of cells. Observed in Win: The body of the window is white. Observed in Linux: As expected. (3. 5) In Spreadsheet window type "<Alt>+F". Program action expected: To display dropdown menu with several options from "New" to "Exit LibreOfficeDev". Observed: No visible change. (3. 6) Type "C". Program closes spreadsheet window and returns focus to the Basic editing window. (3. 7) In the Basic editing window, type "<Alt>+F N T". Program opens window "Untitled 1 - LibreOfficeDev Writer" complete with menubar, taskbars, status bar, and document area. (3. 8) In the Writer window, type "<Alt>+H". Expected: Dropdown menu. Observed on Win: The area for the menu is a white background. Observed on Linux: No visible change. (3. 9) Type "B". Expected: Dialog "About LibreOfficeDev" with useful information. Observed: The body of the dialog is transparent, showing the underlying Writer window. (3.10) Type "<Esc> <Alt>+F C". Program closes the Writer window and returns focus to the Basic editing window. (3.11) In the Basic editing window type "<Alt>+F C". Program closes the Basic editing window and displays Start Center. (4 ) However, Calc from the Start Center works better. (4. 1) In Start Center, type "<Alt>+F N S". Program displays window "Untitled 1 - LibreOfficeDev Calc" complete with menubar, toolbars, status bar, and grid of cells. (4. 2) In Calc window type "<Alt>+H". Program shows menu with readable options. (4. 3) Type "B". Program shows dialog "About LibreOfficeDev" with the expected useful information. (4. 4) Type "<Esc>". Program closes the dialog and returns focus to the Calc window. (4. 5) In Calc window, type "<Alt>+F". Program shows dropdown menu with readable options from "New" to "Exit LibreOfficeDev". (4. 6) Type "C". Program closes the Calc Window and displays Start Center.

Setting RESOLVED DUP 91484. As Michael Meeks says in tdf#91487, "the macro editor basically busts the whole setup". *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 91484 ***
And FWIW, all these seem to be fixed on Linux with version Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 661791da72ec2ddddbba3552279e239f13df1c4f Locale: en-CA (en_CA.UTF-8) and on Windows Vista with version Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 6a626955eb8b803fa58a58baafaa2a06ab4761f2 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2015-05-30_07:46:48 Locale: en-CA (en_CA)
