Microsoft Lists Enhanced Rich Text fields issue with Teams Dark Mode
I have a few users that are using the Lists app in Microsoft Teams to track information and have a multi-line text column with enhanced rich text enabled. When a user enables dark mode in Microsoft Teams and fills out the field, it automatically sets the text color to white instead of changing how black text is presented on the screen. This is causing issues for their teammates because the white text shows on a white background for users with the default color settings in Teams.
Are there any workaround recommendations other than:
- Turn off the enhanced rich text on the column
- Request that users don't use dark mode in Teams
- Have the dark mode users interact with the List from a browser that isn't using dark mode
Here's a similar post from about a year ago - Microsoft Lists Enhanced Rich Text is not compatible with Teams' - Microsoft Community
- I see this is a year-old issue, but I would like to bump this up the priority. I have a user who due to an injury cannot use light-mode. The inability of a rich text box not being able to change font color based on dark mode is now an accessibility issue.
For the moment I instructed the user to use a light blue font color, but that's really not the point, and light blue doesn't make it much easier to see it on a white background.
