Public bug reported:
On a clean install of Ubuntu 20.04, the installation prompts allowed me
to choose dark theme, which has apparently carried over to the Text
Editor that is also installed by default.
The problem is that this dark theme makes the currently-typed line
basically illegible due to it being an extremely similar colour to the
text being written.
There are a few other colours that seem to also make the text difficult
to read, including the "search" functionality's highlighted text colour.
Both of these problems are visible in the attached screenshot :)
