User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Linux Mint/1 (Debian) Firefox/3.6.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.7) Gecko/20100713 Lightning/1.0b2 Thunderbird/3.1.1

Even though the Task View can show a list of all tasks, their titles are not shown. I can only see a task title by highlighting it.
I created a new profile to make sure nothing external was causing the issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create tasks
2.Go to Task View
Actual Results:  
Only the highlighted task has its title visible

Expected Results:  
All titles should be visible

The screenshot shows 3 tasks named Task 1, Task 2, Task 3. It is just a little bit difficult to read because they are colored gray on white. Maybe try a different theme that uses different colors? Or adjust display settings? (Because on my display the title is readable.)

My goodness! The titles are there! ;)
Changed to elementary.Human theme.
Guess I should ask for more contrasting colours for the default theme as an enhancement...
Many thanks!

I think this bug should be reopened, as it is a problem that occurs for ALL users of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, due to the new white-on-black menu theme. 

See details here:
http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/in_lightning_how_to_change_the_text_color_for_task_lists

The solution would be to use something better in place of 'MenuText' in '.calendar-task-tree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(future)' of calendar-task-tree.css

As the page I cited mentions, it doesn't make much sense tying this colour to that of menutext when many themes colour menus differently from the window body.
