Can’t Read Menu in WordPress Beta 2.7

Here is a quick post for you. Wordpress recently released their Beta of WP 2.7. I downloaded, am currently running it, and can say I am not happy. Overall it seems pretty good, but what is driving me nuts is that left sidebar menu they have. It’s really hard to read. At first I thought maybe it was because I had visited all of those links already (this would still be a problem), but it is in fact the default colors. Check out this sidebar menu. Is it easy for you to read? Have you installed the beta, and found the same thing as me? I tried it in FF and IE, and get the same results.

Another quick comment. When I tried to upload the image for this post the upload button does not appear at default. I must click on something else, and then return to get it to work. This is beta so hopefully the bugs will get worked out.
