Question

no contrast in browser accented text popup background tahoe

I use dark mode and have recently installed OS 26.1, Tahoe, MacBook Pro M1. None of what is described below happened in Sequoia.
When using either Firefox or Safari, when I attempt to enter an accented character, e.g., é, the accent popup window appears, but it is white. So is the text it contains. I, thus, cannot use it.
Where can I set the background for these accent popup windows to be something other than white?
I have reviewed the steps needed to make the accents work, and they ARE working; I just cannot see the text.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 26.0

This is a bug in macOS Tahoe, and not fixed in the 26.0.1 update. It occurs on a white background, but not on a dark background. You can see that here, where I'm decreasing the width of this Apple Support Communities post window in Safari with a second Safari window behind it, that one with a black background.
