For some methods, Ghidra's decompiler background window is greyed out and I can't rename the function nor the local variables. Why?
It works fine for methods with a "white background".
Example:
Matching code
004d49dd cc ?? CCh
004d49de cc ?? CCh
004d49df cc ?? CCh
LAB_004d49e0 XREF[1]: FUN_004d4ac0:004d4b0e(*)
==> 004d49e0 64 8b 0d MOV ECX,dword ptr FS:[0x2c]
2c 00 00 00
004d49e7 a1 bc 39 MOV EAX,[DAT_00d439bc] = ??
d4 00
004d49ec 8b 14 81 MOV EDX,dword ptr [ECX + EAX*0x4]
004d49ef 8b 92 08 MOV EDX,dword ptr [EDX + 0x8]
00 00 00
You can only do rename in a fully defined function. The grey background means that Ghidra didn't properly create a function at this point. You can see this also in a disassembly where you only have a label at this location. If you think this is a function you can type F and define a function. It should enable all the edit options.
