Issue file names are shown in white characters on white background after copy

Steps to reproduce

• open a new window
• divide it in two parts (hit F3)
• select another directory with the 2nd window half
• move one or a few files to the 2nd window half

Expected behaviour file names are legible - but it looks like this:

Other information Whole machine was installed cleanly. Themes are these:

This bug was initially reported against nemo HERE, but nemo people think it's a yaru issue.

Hi @herrdeh, thank you for the very detailed report :+1: . I'll look into it.

This seems related to #2218 and it's reproducible in Adwaita too, but not in Adwaita-dark.

At a first sight, it seems that the custom Nemo fallback css for "themes that don't support nemo" doesn't take into account that the selected icon label is bright in Yaru and Adwaita, then when the pane goes out of focus (with F3) the contrast is not enough anymore.

The faster fix, would be to drop the background color change for unfocused pane, but I am trying to keep this feature and fix the problem.

I think, though I don't have nemo installed, that this should not happen anymore, since we do not overwrite tree view selection anymore and we do not have the row wildcard anymore. Checking...

[Feichtmeier]

ewww still there

Even using Adwaita?

[Feichtmeier]

yes

Well this is not a Yaru problem. It could be related even to Gtk itself or to the nemo built-in stylesheet.

@herrdeh can you ask the nemo devs to investigate this problem?
