Current stable version of hexchat (2.10.2) shows a tooltip with white text over a light gray background when hovering over a channel topic textbox (the one at the top of the window) making it

commit 6816215a399ff87e5b1e2910c76b4386f7fa4736 Author: Matthias Maier <tamiko@gentoo.org> Date: Wed Oct 5 00:32:46 2016 -0500 net-irc/hexchat: dropping proxied maintainer and proxy-maint This packages hasn't seen any update at all, no reaction to bugs since 2014. Further, it is not listed on the list of proxy maintained packages [1]. [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers/Proxy_Maintained_Packages Package-Manager: portage-2.3.0
I suspect this is related to an issue I've encountered with newer GTK versions coloring various interface elements with white text on a white background. I'll be investigating this further.
Could you please test if this behavior is still occurring in version 2.12.2 (~), there was a separate bug involving white text on a white background which was resolved in this release, and I suspect it may be related to this issue.
Unfortunately it did not change: Same unreadable topic with (~) 2.12.2
(In reply to Francesco Lamonica from comment #4) > Unfortunately it did not change: Same unreadable topic with (~) 2.12.2 Have you tried changing your color scheme in plasma a bit? I don't use plasma myself and I was unable to reproduce using XFCE.
@nvinson234 Sorry for such a late reply. Yes i did create a new color scheme (from breeze default) and i changed every single color that was present in the color tab, but to no effect. That tooltip is still white text over light gray background, despite my desktop being transformed to psychedelic bunch of windows. Do you have any suggestion of what specific color should i change?
Still an issue with recent hexchat releases?
I am unable to reproduce this locally. Also, the author of this bug didn't respond to the ping from 2019. Closing, since it's probably obsolete by now.
