Breeze-Dark GTK on Evolution

SUMMARY

The Breeze-Dark GTK theme is rendering incorrectly in the Account Setup Wizard of Evolution. Attached are two examples: one using Breeze-Dark, the other using Adwaita-Dark.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set GTK 3 theme to Breeze Dark, make sure Breeze Dark colors are selected.
2. Run evoluton. Observe account setup window.
3. If Evolution has been run before, Go to File > New > Mail Account

OBSERVED RESULT

White text on white background can be observed in the left pane of the wizard.
EXPECTED RESULT

White text on a dark background should be observed.

Doesn't seem to be reproducible on latest Breeze GTK for me. Can you try using the latest release version and see if this is still reproducible on it for you?
Comment 3 Erich Eickmeyer 2021-01-17 01:35:58 UTC 
That cannot be done. The newest version of the theme simply won't install. And since this is on the LTS version of Plasma (5.18), it really needs to be fixed in that branch.

Also discovered it's occurring on the standard (light) version of the theme, just inverted.

The latest version of the Breeze GTK theme requires a newer version of GTK than is available in the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS repos. Since Plasma 5.18 is an LTS, whatever fix was done to the Breeze GTK theme in the latest version needs to be cherry-picked back to the LTS version. As you can see per the attachments, this isn't a bug in GTK since using Adwaita-Dark makes things show-up as expected. Additionally, I have tried with the Materia theme and this issue is also not present, which means the issue is in the Breeze theme.
