Description of problem: Evolution 3.10.4 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Receive HTML message with white characters on black background 2. Reply to or forward message in HTML format and inline. 3. Actual results: Text with white characters on black background will display as black characters on black background in composer window. Message recipient receives message in same condition; unable to read text on black background. Expected results: Expect font fc to be same color as displayed in the message preview window. Additional info: I would like to submit a specific message as an attachment, But I don't know how to save it in HTML format.
Thanks for a bug report. You could just add the missing information into bug #1158587, instead of creating a new bug report. I guess the message uses CSS styles to change font color, which the message composer doesn't understand, thus it uses black fort color. This might be fixed in evolution 3.14 (to be released the next sprint), which will use the same widget to edit message as is used for viewing them, thus understand CSS styles. It would be good to test it beforehand, which can be done with your message. I'd rather not save it as HTML, more important is the message as such, thus right-click it and choose Save as mbox. Then redact its content and censor anything private, like by replacing actual text with 'x', and finally attach it here. Thanks in advance.
Created attachment 952113 [details] Exhibit produces black on black in reply/forward window Hopefully this will reproduce the problem.
Thanks for the test message. It is as I said in comment #1, they use CSS styles, which are unknown to the message composer in 3.12.x and earlier versions. The message composer in the current development version (3.13.7) understands CSS and shows the black section headings with a white font color. A workaround, in this particular case, is to select the "hidden" text and set it a proper font color in the message composer. There cannot be do anything more in the 3.12.x version.
