accent menu is white on white background using dark mode, can't see the characters

after updating to ios 26 tahoe & now using google translate on my macbook, i'm unable to see the characters when i hold down the letter i for example. when the special character menu comes up, it's broken. it makes the characters white on a white background. yes i'm using dark mode, but i shouldn't have to change to loud white mode to fix this. yes that fixes it, but i want to use dark mode, duh :) it's broken. how was this missed? why isn't this automatically dark on a white background?

also, when i first open chrome and translate and hold down the i for character choices, it IS BLACK for about half a second, then it changes to white. bugged. started right but then fails over to white for some odd reason almost immediately. it's only like this one time, then it stays white every other subsequent time. seems to be an issue with white background on chrome using dark mode tahoe 26.
