I ran into this with the Beaumont theme. |
Not exactly the same issue, but it looks like the GB 18.3 merge yesterday triggered more issues related to theme styles not showing in the Post/Page Editor. 8176884-zd-a8c This site has Skivers active with a custom background, and when Gutenberg is active, the editor shows a white background, even when the "Use theme styles" is active. I wasn't able to reproduce on my Atomic site with the same theme/setup. |
Same as Automattic/themes#7777 |
7875379-zen Work ok if I disable Gutenberg. |
8177939-zd-a8c Works ok if Gutenberg is deactivated. |
8154286-zd-a8c Works as expected (matching background color between Editor and Live Site) when Gutenberg is deactivated. Edit: This is also affecting the appearance of 'Default' font within the Editor, making font appear smaller. |
I also noticed this with a site, Deactivating Yoast SEO fixed the issue on that occasion |

Hi! in 18.3 we made this change but we still have this CSS that should color the body white. I could not reproduce this with Sten and the Use theme styles deactivated. It should be showing white instead of gray (and in any case, our change was setting the gray to #ddd which shouldn't be as dark as the report suggests. I would welcome help reproducing this |
Quick summary
With Gutenberg plugin active, and the
use theme styles
setting turned off under Preferences in the page/post editor, the editor background turns dark gray, but still uses black text, making it practically unreadable. Deactivating Gutenberg resolves the issue.Steps to reproduce
use theme styles
What you expected to happen
if not using the theme's styles, the editor should still be legible. there's barely any contrast between the font color and the background here making it all but impossible to work with
What actually happened
the background is dark gray with black text
Impact
Some (< 50%)
Available workarounds?
No but the platform is still usable
Platform (Simple and/or Atomic)
Atomic
Logs or notes
It seems to only affect block themes - I tried a few classic themes and didn't have the same issue there
