Menu black font of black background

Hi Marek,

sorry, I saw the notification mail and then it went off my radar. Shall I still try the beta if in 4.22.2 I experienced black on black?

Best regards, Georg

Hi Georg,

yes, check if you still encounter this problem in latest version on Google Play 4.22.2.

Yes, I still do encounter it. Today I started LM4 twice with a large time distance, and twice the issue, but I can now add more information: At daytime outside, I have bright gey font on bight gray background and at nighttime inside, I have dark grey (not black) on dark grey (not black) background. As said, my mobile does not use a dark theme, also not parts of the day.

Hi Georg,

we made some changes in latest release, so could you please check version 4.23.1?

Hi Marek,

in 4.24.2 the issue is still there. As I assumes some old cached stuff or the like could cause the issue, I rebooted my phone and checked, this is the look:

Moreover, I did try switching the mobile to dark mode, issue is also present. Switching between dark and bright mode does trigger Locus to display correctly, but that's probably just because it re-draws – so the same reason why display becomes OK after some actions within Locus.

Regards, Georg

Hi Georg,

thank you. Map-screen content is the only place where you encounter this problem or there are more places?

It's in other dialogs, too:

From Map-screen content, I dived into quick map switch, went 1 level back, dived into active items, went 1 level back, dived into OSM notes where I noticed the black background – at this time and without dark mode, I would expect white – and went 2 levels back, opened Map-screen content and OSM notes and the display was as expected now.

As said in the initial post, it's only sometimes: After display became OK, it stays OK for the rest of that day/night and sometimes also a few following daytimes. Then all starts over. Also, reboot and other "major actions" to the whole phone cause the issue to start over, i.e. even within the same day/night. → You seem to have some code checking whether display shall be bright (day) or dark (night). In there, the choice for foreground and background seems to be inconsistent sometimes.

Can I enable & send logs?

Hi Georg,

we released new version yesterday with some possible fix of your problem. Could you please try it?

Hi @Marek Scholtz, in the lasst weeks, I never encountered the issue despite I used Locus v4 heavily – hence I assume that issue is finally solved 🙂👍 Thank you, Georg

Hi @Marek Scholtz, today I encountered the problem again in Locus 4.26.3

I cannot tell whether it shows the same symptoms (disappearing after some jumps) because of Locus did crash quickly after I took the screenshot, see https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/35897-app-suddenly-shuts-down

I have no idea whether we have a regression in the sense the issue was solved and re-appeared, or whether the issue just became much more seldom.
