Comment 31 for bug 1857191

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu Desktop 23.04 (the light version, with few pre-installed programs), during installation I selected Dark Theme, then installed gedit with APT.
Same screenshots as visible https://askubuntu.com/questions/1230173/selected-lines-contents-arent-readable-in-gedit-while-using-dark-theme-on-ubun

Gedit is really ununsable in this default configuration, and one should not have to go search for workarounds on the internet to make this basic program work ;)

I "fixed" it by going to Gedit's properties, Fonts and Colors, and changing from the default selected Tango theme to Oblivion. All good now.
