Screens of the font preview list and settings

Hi, I get a similar problem as Bug 135565 which has been marked as fixed, so I open a new issue for the moment:

Also described here https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/problems-with-dark-theme-and-fonts-preview-libreoffice-7-0/54647

In order to report and confirm a bug I had to reset my profile and now, using LibreOffice 25.8.0.4 on Ubuntu 25.10 development version with official and regular deb package from main repository, I face the same font preview problem:

With the default dark theme, on both Writer, Calc and Impress the fonts names and previews on the drop-down list are written in light gray on white background and so are unreadable except for the one overlined by the mouse, whereas font size and paragraph lists well have a dark background.

I tried to install and use another dark (grey) theme, but has similar issue.

If I disable the fonts preview in settings, then the font drop-down menu looks normal (dark background with white fonts, obviously without preview).

Is there a workaround for this, please - or is it a (new) bug ?
