As per attached screenshot, when one inserts a table, then opens Table Properties, the active tab has white text with white background, preventing one from seeing what is active.

Please test with a clean profile, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode
Comment 2 Chris Peñalver 2023-03-26 03:41:24 UTC
Same thing same problem in safe mode.
Comment 3 m_a_riosv 2023-03-26 03:48:38 UTC
Seems you have enabled dark mode.
Verify it is selected also in LibreOffice.
Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice/Application Colors - Color Scheme.
or maybe accessibility options
Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice/Accessibility

I don't recall ever actively adjusting anything in either area (see attached for current configurations).

Please play a bit with the Options for High Contrast.

Here is what I just tried changing from the defaults and what happened:

1) LibreOffice > Preferences > LibreOffice > Accessibility > High Contrast: > from:
Automatic

to either:
Disable
Enable

Still white text on white background. For Enable, it did change other colors within the GUI.

2) LibreOffice > Preferences > LibreOffice > Application Colors > Scheme: > from:
LibreOffice

to:
LibreOffice Dark

Still white text on white background. Other colors changed within the GUI.

3) System Settings > Appearance > under Appearance change from:
Dark

to:
Light

This changed it to black text with white background with the default (i.e. as it came installed) LO settings.

Hence, I think it's reasonable to adjust how LO defaults colors to control for if the user changes the appearance to either Light or Dark in System Settings.

I'm not able to confirm, also tested things like in comment #6

Comment 8 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2024-01-08 23:18:57 UTC
Using the same OS Appearance settings, and same LO view settings, I found that the defining factor is the use of the OS setting Accessibility > Display > Increase contrast (the white outline of the fields in the LO dialog gave it away).

Reproduced in:

Sorry, I was accidently using the wrong bug number in the commits (comments 11 to 13), these are actually for tdf#159323. Reopening this one...
