Status:	Duplicate	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench: Modeling	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	8.0.30	OS:	Ubuntu (22.04)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	x86
Tags:	Dark Mode, EER, linux

Description:
Note: I searched the bug reports, and yes, there are many dark mode/white text issues reported over the years, some resolved
but I did not find any explicitly reporting this section of the UI, and the issue is current

As a Linux user with dark mode enabled;
I cannot see text in the "Properties" panel on the EER diagram page.
Foreground is #f7f7f7 (very light gray) on #ffffff (white) background.

Example screenshot:

How to repeat:
Open MySQL-Workbench
Open an existing model, or create a new one
Select an existing diagram or create a new one
Select an existing table or create a new one
Ensure the table is placed in the diagram view, then select/highlight the table
Look in the left pane at the "Properties" panel,
You will see dark checkboxes, confirming there are elements in the view
but no text is visible because it is too similar to the white background

Suggested fix:
Fix background color of EER Properties panel for dark mode

Hello,

Hello Ashwini, Support,

Thank you for your reply; however, this is not a duplicate of the issue you linked to.
That issue is in standard/light mode, not dark mode.
That is not the same panel of the issue being reported.

Also, I am not experiencing the issue described there:

Though I use dark mode, that bug describes a light mode issue.

Please review this issue as described;
Linux, dark mode, EER diagram, "Properties" Panel

Additionally, I have found two other white/white issues.

When synchronizing model and source DB:

When hovering over a query error/warning, the tooltip:

"Dark" and "Light" mode issues aren't so... black & white.
That is why so many reports are not duplicates of other reports.

It is not all or nothing, there are specific sections or segments which do not swap color modes correctly and must be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

This report now refers to three individual locations within the UI where dark mode displays white text on white background in the current version of MySQL Workbench.

Please review it again and do not write it off so hastily.

Thank you,

-Jeremiah
