@Heiko By design or not?
(In reply to Telesto from comment #3) > By design or not? Don't think so. IIUC, Calc uses the edit engine in edit mode and should behave like Writer. But it doesn't. The issue is not limited to macOS; I get white on black for Calc and some grayish color in Writer on my Linux/kf5 system. Default selection is white on blue.
