Illegible Highlighted text in Default Style

[Limpin Legin]

Hi, when trying to edit a discussion/reply using the Default Style forum mode, any highlighted text and background both turn black, making such highlights illegible. This is different to highlighting non-editable text, which turns to white text on a blue background - which remains legible.

When putting an internet link into a message, when you finish inserting the link, the text you added to that link also appears as a black rectangle. Currently using Firefox 134.0.1 on Ubuntu Linux 34.04.1.

Looking into this (I may have broken it when trying to fix the dark mode). Could one of you grab a screenshot of this please? Just so I can work out what I'm looking into

 

[Limpin Legin]

Yes it looks like this, with the word "text" highlighted and <ironically> obscured by the black on black highlight:



Also (not mentioned in the OP), Weblinks are different. If I hover the mouse over the third weblink in Ian's profile I get this white on white. Same for other weblinks in other Forum pages:

Should be fixed now? Let me know if not

 

[Limpin Legin]

Well, that is fixed for the "white on white" weblinks on Forum pages, but not yet fixed the "black on black" highlight in the reply editor box

OK, testing this on a slightly newer version of Firefox (134.0.2). Here is a link to you. The illegibility is not the end of the world - after the link is added, the text soon becomes visible again...

Here is another link and it works, now! There is no "illegibility phase"! Thank you

When I scroll my curser over a title, it disappears, and the small description shows up. Is the vanishing a design choice?

Well, it is now fixed for the "black upon black" highlight in the reply editor box

Why not just make the hyperlinks default red, or another colour altogether that will show up on either background field?

Because I don't have access to customising hyperlink colours outside of the reply edit box.

Otherwise, cool suggestion .

Confirming this same white on white in Firefox with the latest updates.

Same problem with Chrome.

 

[AndrewW]

Happens with both Pale Moon and Chromium on here.

 

[Varulv]

And with Brave.

It's white on all the hover text... names, links, links, etc. But not, for instance, if you bring up a box with someone's info and hover over text there... then you get black (or no change) and the underline. Pretty sure I can see the problem in the stylesheet, but that's sure as heck not the right way to fix it, even if I could.

But the admins might be able to make it a global default parameter.

I've fixed it!! (I think)

Unfortunately it goes by style, so one for Normal one for Dark Mode. I think I probably just pressed the wrong thing in Normal mode. Sorry folks!

If there's anything else let me know
