Description Gino 2023-03-04 11:36:08 UTC
Description:
All of my LibreOffice Writer dropdown menus are black text on a dark grey background and almost impossible to read. This issue has been reported in forums many times and I've tried every fix I can find but every fix is always temporary. Most fixes seem to be in the 'Options/View/Graphics Output' area and always require a restart. Will work for a bit and then right back to black. Thankfully, I know my way around the program enough to still work with it but it's super frustrating. Enough to make me want to go back to using Open Office. I also updated recently - thinking this bug would be fixed in there since it's been being reported for a while now but sadly, it only fixed it for a minute. I'm on Windows 10 Personal edition, 64 Bit, and the latest update I have is 7.4.5.1 (x64). Thank you for providing such a great piece of software for free. But unfortunately, it's almost no longer usable if this never gets fixed. Thanks!

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open program
2.Go to dropdown menus
3.Grab glasses and squint your way through the all black menus.

Actual Results:
Black dropdown menus

Expected Results:
Have readable contrast in dropdown menus between text and background.


Reproducible: Always

Issue of the dupe bug 151756 where dark mode support at 7.4 is experimental and any specific would => WF. 

Additional os/DE Dark color mode function and stability is in place for 7.5 release (currently 7.5.1.2). Please upgrade when you can and retest.
