The issue you described was worked around for Adwaita by forcing the dark mode off. The workaround was removed in the new version of gucharmap available in Ubuntu 17.04 Beta because the underlying Adwaita issue was fixed in gtk 3.22. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS uses gtk 3.18.
I'm closing this bug since this appears to be triggered by using a theme that is not packaged in Ubuntu so it can't be fixed by Ubuntu developers. Please report this problem to your theme's developers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gucharmap in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637959 Title: Gnome Character Map (gucharmap) displays characters white-on-white when global dark theme is on Status in gucharmap package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I use a dark theme globally, and gucharmap has a problem with dark themes. The problem is that in the character table, only the currently selected character is visible, whereas all other characters are displayed as white glyphs on white background, therefore, are invisible. I'm attaching a screenshot with this effect visible. You can observe that U+0034 DIGIT FOUR is the character currently selected, and it is the only one that can be seen in the table. I'm running Xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS. The theme I'm using is called Add- Waiter (which is basically a dark-by-default version of Adwaita), and the version number of gucharmap is visible in the About dialog (exact version of the package is 1:3.18.2-1ubuntu1).
