I'm new to ElCapitan (upgrqded from Snow Leopard a couple of days ago) and to TB 52.2.1. I write a lot of messages with in line insertions like this:

It should look this way

not like this

While I am editing the text of my message, the TBird main menu bar at the top of the screen is very dark and transparent, but I can just read that the menu items are: Thunderbird, File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Options, Tools, Window, Help.

If I click on an item such as Insert or Format in this menu, bar it briefly becomes readable (half second?) and then changes to: Thunderbird, File, Edit, View, Go, Events and Tasks, Tools, Window, Help.

In other words, the editing items that I want to use (Insert, Format and maybe Options -- I don't know what might be there) vanish because I indicate that I want to use them. What am I doing wrong?

tried using safe mode? (restart with add-ons disabled from the help menu)

I am guessing you have a theme that did not make the transition well and therefore the user interface is not working as it should.

Your suggestion gave me an idea. I moved the message I was editing onto the display that had the menu bar, That's rather inconvenient, but when I did that, the correct menu stayed, and I could click "Insert > Image... as before. On Snow Leopard and with a rather older TB, everything used to work fine with the message being edited on the secondary display.
