Red background for equivalent fields in advanced search tooltip

When hovering on a field in the advanced search, Zotero shows equivalent fields. The background of this popup/tooltip is red. If that was intentional, it was a bad idea, but I guess it is a bug.
  • Can you show a screenshot?
    Can you reproduce in Troubleshooting Mode (Help → "Restart in Troubleshooting Mode…”)?
  • When I go to "Report Errors...", I get

    You didn't answer the second question.
    (Edit: I didn't see the small "troubleshooting mode")
  • edited 3 days ago
    Actually, I did. The screenshot shows that it is in the troubleshooting mode.
    It is there.

    OK, my bad. I cannot reproduce on Mac or on Linux, with 7.0.11 and 7.1-beta.12.

    The tooltips on the main panel (not in search) showing for partially displayed fields are fine. I wonder how exactly the red popup is rendered.
  • I can reproduce on Windows 10 with the latest beta.
    But the red popup only appears on some of the fields.

  • @PChemist: The errors are probably unrelated.

    Probably the same as here:

  • Also seeing this, with no plugins enabled. Apart from being jarring, I don't think the contrast (either the red/white in dark mode or the red/black in light mode) meets WCAG AA success criteria, though I haven't checked this formally. I agree this looks like a bug
