MacOS Tahoe: Visual Bug in tooltip with Dark Mode while keep pressing a key

Hi,

I´m dealing with a bug while keep pressing a key on the keyboard to get the "popup" for character options related with that key, that appears in white background with white cahracters. This is not supposed to behave this way.

I´m working in "Dark Mode" and when I keep pressing a key to get the character options (e.g. pressing the "c" to get a "ç"), I have to guess what is on the pop-up. As an exaample, I´m attaching a screenshot of this bug.

Sometimes the popup quicly blinks in dark mode but immediately turns white with white characters in the suggestions.

I have cleared the PRAM, restarted the system, cleared the cache, and it still behaves like this, expecially on web forms and different browsers.

Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.

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.

Bugs can be reported to Apple here:

Thanks for the update on this issue. It looks like it, I hope, might be solved in a future OS update.
