Dropdown Menus are not readable.

[WinnerWind]

Hi there! So sorry to bring up another issue.
This issue has been here since February (possibly before!) but because of work I wasn't able to compile a bug report.
There's something to do with the dropdowns and using Kakano.

Latest v of Kakano

Latest v of Kakano

This is Kakano v2.9.4

As you can see from the screenshots, whenever a dropdown menu is enabled, it is jet black and the text seems to match it, making the text unreadable. Text can only be read if the cursor is hovered over the item. You can see from the first screenshot that this bug works in a sandbox vault with ONLY the theme enabled, and no style settings. This exists for EVERY dropdown menu in Obsidian.
Changing the theme to light does not alleviate the issue, now the dropdowns become white (Sorry for your eyes!)

Note : I switched from Windows to Arch Linux, but this bug existed in Windows back in February - Early March. This is the Flatpak version of Obsidian.
Sorry if this bug report feels a bit rushed.

Edit : Similar to #4 but for dropdowns and not context menus.

Thanks @WinnerWind!

I've made a small change in version 2.16.4 that may help, however I'm currently working blind as I can't reproduce the problem on macOS.

However, it's useful information that you're seeing the same thing on Linux. I don't currently have access to a Windows machine, but I'll look into running Linux on my Mac under VirtualBox to see if I can see it. That should also help me with #6, which is also a cross-platform issue.

The change in V 2.16.4 works perfectly!

Edit : Virtualization software may help to solve such issues but do remember that it's not perfect and may introduce more issues.

For sure. Especially for Windows, I may need to see if I can borrow a machine from somebody. Seems odd that I don't have one in the house, but I've always been a Mac user (at least since I stopped being an Amiga user).

Hi there!
I do have a windows machine (I'm on a dual-boot setup) so in case you ever need to do some testing I can help out remotely.

That would be awesome. Could I get current screenshots on Windows for each of the three window frame styles? Pop them in a new issue here.

I'm particularly interested in the layout at the tops of the windows. There are some older screenshots in #6 – I've made some changes since then, but I'm not certain yet that I have it right. It would be great to see what it currently looks like to see what else is needed.
