Windows 10: Dropdown Box Font Color

Since the last cumulative update, December 7th, 2018, I've had a problem with the font in the dropdown box displaying white on a white background. This happens when changing the color scheme in personalization. [personalization>colors>choose your default app mode>dark]

When I change the default app mode as light the dropdown box font color is black on a white background as it should be. I don't know how to change the font color or IF I can.

I don't know if it's related or not but this started happening after the Edge settings included "Choose a Theme" light/dark.

I like the dark default app mode because I have rather large screens for my computer and the light default app mode is too bright for my eyes- especially when the room is darker in the evening.

Does Microsoft have any plans to address this issue soon? It never happened before the afore mentioned update.

The first picture below shows the dropdown box with the white font. When highlighting the selection by moving the cursor over the area sometimes I can see the selections as the highlight is light grey.....but you can see it's a white font on a white background. This is with the default app mode set to dark.



This second picture is when the default app color is set to light.
