Treatment b uses color text in the title which seems to be the origin of issue. Edge case that's not blocker for this experiment .

The patch landed in nightly and beta is affected.
:mviar, is this bug important enough to require an uplift?
If not please set status_beta to wontfix.

I‘ve verified this issue using the latest Firefox Nightly 103.0a1 (Build ID: 20220609220048) on Windows 10 x64, macOS 12.3.1.

• Spotlight's fancy/gradient title is visible when selected if the Dark theme is enabled. Verified the
  “Fx100 Upgrade” and “next-level-pin-core-eco2205-en:treatment-b” spotlights.

I confirmed with product that we won't be uplifting to beta as this is an edge case.
