I'm not expecting this to be fixed in 18.04 as I imagine that this issue considered low importance since it can be worked around by changing theme. Add to that the fact that the devs and package maintainers probably are pretty busy after the 19.10 release and working towards 20.04. The be fair, this is not really a game breaking bug but more an inconvenience.
@Christopher Howard (howardtopher): I'm sure you're welcome to contribute a bugfix. Seeing as this is such a quick and easy fix this should be no problem for you. For those (like me) who prefer to stick to the dark theme, here's how to downgrade the needed packages fairly safely. Create a file called libwebkit2gtk-downgrade under /etc/apt/preferences.d/ Paste the following into it: Package: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 Pin: version 2.20* Pin-Priority: 550 Package: libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 Pin: version 2.20* Pin-Priority: 550 Package: gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 Pin: version 2.20* Pin-Priority: 550 Package: gir1.2-javascriptcoregtk-4.0 Pin: version 2.20* Pin-Priority: 550 >From a terminal run: sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37=2.20.1-1 libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18=2.20.1-1 gir1.2-webkit2-4.0=2.20.1-1 gir1.2-javascriptcoregtk-4.0=2.20.1-1 This won't remove the *-desktop package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1841646 Title: White text on white background for HTML e-mail To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evolution/+bug/1841646/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
