Screenshot showing broken and working instance (elevated privileges on left, non-elevated on right)

SUMMARY


When starting ksystemlog from the KDE menu (where it asks for password to run as root), the text on the toolbar buttons is unreadable. See left instance in screenshot.

When starting ksystemlog from the command line (no elevated privileges) the text on the button is readable (see right instance in screenshot).


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Use breeze theme in dark variant in KDE.
2. Run ksystemlog from KDE menu
3. Authenticate to elevate privileges
4. Look at toolbars

OBSERVED RESULT
Black text on dark grey background. Unreadable.

EXPECTED RESULT
Readable text colours.

It seems to use a completely different theme with elevated privileges (see my screenshot).  This does not happen with KDE Partition Manager.
