Text is black on dark theme using "Appearance: System" and "Color: Automatic"

[IronRod]

Running the most recent version – version info at bottom – installed via Flathub.

As noted in the title, the text is showing black on a dark system theme. I expect “Automatic” to provide light text on a dark background.

My LM 22 system is set to dark mode:

The LibreOffice options show “Appearance: System” (which is what I want but I haven’t changed this and it was set to this by default) and “Customizations->Color: Dark Automatic” – see this image:

I tried explicitly setting “Appearance: Dark” but that didn’t change anything.

What else do you recommend? I have looked at several other articles on the forum – notably this one – but none have provided a resolution.

I think try this, How to show margins - #6 by EarnestAl and then set the LibreOffice theme to Dark (same page of Options) after allowing LibreOffice to restart

Thank you. I looked at several of the available themes and have settled on the “Light Application Colors” for now. This is certainly better than the default which was nearly unworkable.
