Input fields almost unusable

[rgpublic]

I don't know when it started - perhaps only with the most recent ST4 update - but text in all input fields is almost invisible:

The whole input field has a white background color. As soon as I select some text, the whole input field gets the normal dark background again.

Same for me. I think it started with the latest update (4114) in the Dev build channel.

i stopped using st, so any PRs are welcome.

Ah, good to know that someone else experiences this and I'm not just seeing things. I panicked a bit, because I thought I had irrevocably misconfigured my machine ot sth.

I found the following emergency workaround. It's a few minutes of work and a little bit complicated, but since Sublime is almost unusable without it, perhaps others find this helpful until a true patch is found:

• Preferences => Browser packages (Sublime's "Packages" folder is opened in the file manager)
• Change to "User" directory
• Create a folder "Seti_UI"
• Inside, create another folder "Widgets"
• Copy the file "Widget - Seti.stTheme" over from Packages/Seti_UI/Widgets (Same path but without "User")
• Open the XML file under "User" and change the "foreground" key to "#000000". Save.
• Basically what you did up until here is clone a single file from the original package in your Users folder and adapt it.
• Now, back in the original package folder (not the "Users" one), open Widget - Seti.sublime-settings or Widget - Seti_orig.sublime-settings, respecitvely - depending on which theme you use.
• Under "color_scheme" change the path to your new folder by inserting "/User". The value should now be: "Packages/User/Seti_UI/Widgets/Widget - Seti.stTheme"
