This is also an issue when creating a new knowledge base for both the visibility and groups field.

It seems there's a few other places, like when adjusting access control of various things, that have this problem.

I am unable to reproduce the reported issue with the latest version of Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu. I understand that your OS is different, although, it's still Linux under the hood.

I recommend to ensure your browser is up to date and running the latest stable/recommended version. If you have any dark mode extensions enabled in the browser, disable them for your Open WebUI instance's URL.

I put the OS for what Open WebUI is running on, but I probably should have put the one I'm using the browser on... which is Windows. If I try it with Edge the contrast is fine. My Firefox version is up to date, version 145.0.1. I have no dark mode extensions installed.

unable to reproduce

do you have any addons?
what browser version?
is any THEME applied in the browser that might alter anything?
or a system level theme?
what theme did you use in Open WebUI (Dark or OLED Dark)?

Standard Firefox browser version 145.0.1.
There are no outside themes applied, I'm using Firefox's built-in system theme, and my system is set to dark mode using Windows provided glow theme.
Open WebUI's theme was based on the system's, which set it to Dark. I tried OLED Dark and that has the same issue.

FWIW not all drop downs have this issue. The language and theme drop down in the user settings looks fine.
