When using Libreoffice in dark mode sometimes some menus work as if they are in light mode, keeping a light background with the light text that comes with the dark mode, making the menu unusable
Thank you

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open libreoffice writer
2.Go to layout and select page size (using dark mode)
3.Click on it to get the dropdown
4.There it will show the issue

Actual Results:
The drop down looks light in color with the background and text, making it unusable to the user

Expected Results:
It should have made the background dark and kept text white for dark mode consistency and readability


Reproducible: Always

Was able to confirm some problems with the dark mode, but it does not happen every time on my system. Occasionally, the text is dark on a dark background as you described, other times it's fine. There also seems to be an issue with double borders when clicking on and off options in that menu, for example, if you click 'Page' then 'Columns', there is a double border on top of the 'Page' option.
