this is NOT a duplicate of similar sounding issues.
i didn't change the theme, theme is default.
i use a light window theme for my OS. the default adwaita.

i deleted the .config/kwriterc file to reset settings but that didn't help.

i installed kde yesterday and didn't notice this issue in kde/plasma. only experiencing it in xfce.

We use the proper color theme colors for that:

    QPalette background(lineEdit->palette());

    switch (matchResult) {
    case MatchFound: // FALLTHROUGH
    case MatchWrappedForward:
    case MatchWrappedBackward:
        // Green background for line edit
        KColorScheme::adjustBackground(background, KColorScheme::PositiveBackground);
        break;
    case MatchMismatch:
        // Red background for line edit
        KColorScheme::adjustBackground(background, KColorScheme::NegativeBackground);
        break;
    case MatchNothing:
        // Reset background of line edit
        background = QPalette();
        break;
    case MatchNeutral:
        KColorScheme::adjustBackground(background, KColorScheme::NeutralBackground);
        break;
    }

For me this works reasonable well, if the color schemes that are used have non-usable colors in these roles, one should report that to the individual desktops/.... that ship them.
