I can’t see what I’m typing in the google search bar on MacBook air M2. Brand new laptop..any ideas?

When I type in the google search bar the text is invisible. I can see the circles below for suggestions but no text showing up there either. I have a brand new MacBook Air M2. Any suggestions as to why this is happening?


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14

I CAN'T SEE WHAT I'M TYPING in MacBook Pro. I have somewhat the same issue. I just (an hour ago) upgraded from macOS Monterey 12.7 to macOS Monterey 12.7.3. Everything seems fine... except for Safari. When I want to type something in the Google search bar I can do so... it's just that the typing has become invisible.... I tried several times but I can not see what I type.... the cursor moves and is "writing" in a blind kind of mode... Upon entering the command it does search and I can then see the results.... so basically... it works.... it's just that I have to type blind commands (for my eyes) into the Safari/Google Search bar. In Google Chrome the problem does not occur. But since I'm a Safari user: does anybody have a suggestion/solution for what's going on here? Thank you!
