Thank you very much for your contribution.
The problem comes from the way your system pick a dark color for the "unspecified-fg" keyword. The current default behavior is as follow (active buffer left, inactive buffer right):
Normally both mode-line have the same kind of light foreground color, the only thing changing being the background.
Thus there are two problems:
I must admit I don’t use the default mode-line myself, but instead the dracula-alternate-mode-line-and-minibuffer
one. I’ll see to change also the default setting to be most obvious of what is the active buffer.
Can you test my branch ed-fix-83
(commit 7c80ad7) and see if it’s better for you?

I see, it seems like my system's problem (I'm using macOS). Sorry for not considering users on other os.
After applying your fix, I believe this problem has been solved.
Here is the new screenshot (left is the active one):
And I think it might be better to set the mode-line-inactive
's :background
to dracula-bg
, which is more readable:
(I changed the value of mode-line-inactive :background
after applying your fix):
@milouse Any chance we could get your branch merged?
Yeah sorry, I was busy these days. I’ll try to do it this evening.
The default active mode-line foreground is darker than the inactive mode-line, which may make it difficult for users to distinguish the current active buffer. After I exchanged these two values, it seems that the situation has been solved.
Here is the actual effort:
The left buffer is the current active buffer.
