Description dafadllyn 2023-01-01 19:19:09 UTC
Description:
With Windows set to dark mode, every time after the computer was locked an i log back in, menus are displayed with black text on a very dark grey background, which makes the menu entries nearly impossible to read (cf. 1st screenshot).

By default and after closing and reopening LibreOffice, the menus have a light grey background (2nd screenshot). If Windows is set to light mode, the problem described above does not occur.

(Note that this problem occurs with and without Sika. The Intel Iris Xe Graphics driver has been updated to its latest version 31.0.101.4032.)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice.
2. Open a menu in LibreOffice. -> Everything is still fine.
3. Lock the computer (or close the notebook lid).
4. Log back in.
5. Open a menu in LibreOffice.

Actual Results:
The menu is displayed with black text on a almost black background.

Expected Results:
The menu background should be light grey.


Reproducible: Always

Fixed for the 7.5.0 release, with 7.4.x builds you still need to enable experimental features from Tools -> Options -> Advanced tab.
