Same here. Also found using the menu when editing an automation. In dark theme text is black on black background.

Same.

@aswormboy, I think this might be a different issue than the original one above. I've opened an upstream ticket for something similar to what you're seeing:
home-assistant/frontend#29172

Thank you for the reports, I had little time the last months and couldn't reproduce it. I will try to find a fix the next week. All details help me 🙏
