Color self-inconsistency causes usability problems
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: aishoodame

Description:
In wikimedia Bugzilla,
author style sets background color but uses user style for foreground color.

This inconsistency can cause poorly legible or illegible color combinations to occur, depending on the user's default colors.

I checked for this bug upstream (mozilla.org) and it is certainly not present in all circumstances which it occurs at mediawiki bugzilla.

This can be observed with the normal text of most pages at

including the front page.
It happens at least with some form lists also.
Links have explicit author colors and so are not affected.

To observe a problem caused by this, set the default colors in your web browser to a light foreground color for text and links and a dark background color, such as black.

Try white as the text color.

I don't know since when, but this appears to be fixed.

global.css for the Wikimedia "VectorZilla" theme now contains both:

body {
color: black;
background: white
