            Bug ID: 202194
           Summary: [GTK] White text on white background in 2.25/2.26 and
                    dark GTK theme
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Gtk
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: WebKitGTK
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: mike at vee.net

There's a few bug reports about people getting white text on white backgrounds for people running 2.25/2.26: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/issues/573 and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/617

While the reports above are for contenteditable elements, it also seems to happen for arbitrary, non-editable content when the app and/or page doesn't explicitly specify both foreground and background colours.

For example, install Geary from flathub, enable a dark theme for it using the GTK Inspector, and view an email from gitlab.gnome.org, or compose a new email.

Evo has already deployed a workaround, and I probably will for Geary as well, shouldn't either both or nether the text and background colour get set, not one and not the other?
