The problem appears under Debian 10 with KDE5 as environment

Did you make sure to try with the standard theme? Looks like some text color is off.

The only that i use, is the breeze-gtk-theme, for better integration with kde. It's set via the system settings (kde-config-gtk-style module).
I thought that it did work in version 68 but i tested tested it again and it doesn't work in 68 too.
Sorry, if thats not a problem of thunderbird. I'll try try to change the color by myself.

It seems KDE doesn't set the GrayText correctly.
Instead of defining a fixed colour, I use a reduced opacity. With this we always use the text colour that should fit in the tooltip also with exotic tooltip colours.

Use for the folder tooltip summary text a reduced opacity instead of a fixed colour. r=mkmelin
