Description KDE Neon user 2016-06-26 21:05:49 UTC 
When Breeze Dark Theme is active on Neon 5.6, the installer doesn't display most of its text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change the theme to Breeze Dark on the Neon 5.6 live DVD/USB
2. Open the installer

Actual Results:  
Most of the text isn't visible

Expected Results:  
All text should be visible, like on the default (light) theme.

I'm reporting this here because theme is shipped by default on KDE Neon and makes the installation process impossible for users who don't realize that this is the theme's fault (they may think the installer is completely broken).

I can confirm that this bug is still present in the released version Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (see screenshots). When the default theme is switched to "Breeze Dark" the installer becomes unuseable since most of the relevant text disappears. The other two themes work fine.

We no longer use this particular installer and the current installer doesn't weirdly mix colors.

I just checked with Kubuntu 20.10 - same problem with no text in
the installer after the theme was switched from Kubuntu to
Breeze Dark.

Is the current installer different from the installer in 20.10?

Neon isn't kubuntu though. We do not track kubuntu bugs.
