Screen shot of release notes message and button

After upgrading to 24.2, the Release Notes button is black on dark blue when active if macOS's "increase contrast" setting is on.

Steps:
1. Apple Menu, then System Settings
2. Click Accessibility, then Display
3. Set increase contrast to On
4. Launch an version of LibreOffice older than 24.2
5. In the Help Menu, choose Check for Updates
6. Download the latest version of LibreOffice 24.2
7. Close LibreOffice
8. Install the download
9. Launch LibreOffice
10. Open an existing spreadsheet
11. Click the button Release notes
12. Cmd-tab to return to LibreOffice

Expected result: The Release notes button text has good contrast with the background

Actual result (screenprint attached): The Release notes button text has poor contrast with the background, failing WCAG 2.0 and being barely readable

There is another issue I know of related to Increase Contrast: bug 154381.

Can you please share your full version information copied from LibreOffice > About?
Which version did you upgrade from when you noticed the issue?

Current version info:

Version: 24.2.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 433d9c2ded56988e8a90e6b2e771ee4e6a5ab2ba
CPU threads: 6; OS: macOS 14.5; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

I don't know how to tell for sure what version I previously had. It's not in my downloads, and a search on current and past install.log files only turns up Adobe Acrobat on a search for the string "Libre". However, I believe it would have been one of the 23's and not 24.0 or 24.1.

Is it any different, if you deactivate LibreOffice - Preferences - LibreOffice - View - Use Skia for all rendering?
