Description enriquermcd 2025-04-07 09:05:42 UTC
Description:
When using LibreOffice in dark mode, some text in the settings interface is rendered in black, making it invisible against the black background. This issue only occurs when certain settings are unavailable and cannot be clicked or interacted with. The text appears as if it is present but is difficult to read or entirely invisible due to the black-on-black color scheme.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set LibreOffice to dark mode (through the Tools → Options → Application Colors).

2. Navigate to the settings where certain options are unavailable (e.g.,paste when nothing on the clipboard or connect cells on calc).

3. Observe that the text for those unavailable settings appears in black, making it unreadable on the dark background.

Actual Results:
The text for unavailable settings appears in black on a black background, making it effectively invisible or very hard to read.

Expected Results:
The text for unavailable settings should be visible with a white color to ensure readability in dark mode.


Reproducible: Always

Please test in safe mode, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode
Comment 5 enriquermcd 2025-04-07 10:30:45 UTC
When testing in safe mode with following settings (see new attachment), it works. 

Then I used the same settings, saved them and it seemed to work. But actually, after restarting the program the bug appears again.
