Description

[David Ogilvie]

Attachment: black on black screenshot.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set Windows 10 color scheme to "High Contrast Black".
2. Start Thunderbird Daily 2021-09-18.

Actual results:

List of emails shows up as black text on black background.
As I mouse over the list, the item under the mouse shows up as white text on black, but as soon as the mouse moves off the item, the email subjust returns to black-on-black text. (See attachment.)

Expected results:

This was working properly in Daily 2021-09-17.

There is also an issue in current version 91.3.2

If computer High Contrast Black selected:
The top toolbars, Folder Pane, Thread Pane and Message Pane header area, Write window effected - only drop down menu seems ok.
Calendar, Task and Events, Today Pane all effected.
They show the same colours determined by the Light or Dark theme in Thunderbird and not the High Contrast Black theme.

The Language and Appearance 'Colours' section is setup to use 'Only with High Contrast themes'.

I'll create a separate bug if required, but support forum has reported this.

Visibilty is seriously effected; I think this needs more priority.

Reporter, does this still fail for you when using version 102 or newer version?
