TTS breaks after automatic theme changes

The TTS breaks for me after my Zotero automatically changes themes according to my systems light/dark theming. I'm on Arch + KDE. When it breaks the whole left side panel and top panel (which contains the panel, zoom, appearance and read aloud buttons) dissapears and is replaced with an empty colour matching the theme (dark/light). I have to restart Zotero to fix the issue.

It sounds like the whole reader is breaking, not just Read Aloud.

Can you provide a Report ID after that occurs?

Oops, I forgot to mention that the error is triggered by clicking the Read Aloud button, whereas the other buttons in those menus do not trigger the error.

Can you reproduce this in Troubleshooting Mode (Help → Restart in Troubleshooting Mode...)?

I just tried, and I can't reproduce in Troubleshooting Mode, and now I can't reproduce it at all. Strange *shrugs* I guess I'll just touch base again if I notice it again...

Okay I caught it finally!

Thanks! I was also able to reproduce and a fix will be in an upcoming release.
