Actual result: Target page has a dark background, making the text illegible. The issue also occurs if the target page explicitly sets color-scheme to light. The issue did only occur when both pages were on the same domain, I could not reproduce it for cross-domain linking. Demo: https://markusdosch.github.io/webkit-bug-meta-color-scheme-dark/ Chrome & Firefox behave as expected and always show the target page with a white background. 1975637 1 akeerthi 2023-09-05 13:06:05 -0700 Does this reproduce for you in STP? I'm unable to reproduce with Safari 17 (beta). 1975638 2 akeerthi 2023-09-05 13:06:44 -0700 STP (Safari Technology Preview): https://developer.apple.com/safari/technology-preview/ 1975647 3 mail 2023-09-05 13:31:24 -0700 Thanks for your fast response! I just installed & checked with Safari Technology Preview - indeed, I can't reproduce it there! So it seems it will be fixed in Safari 17 (right?) :) 1975648 4 akeerthi 2023-09-05 13:33:54 -0700 It should be! Though the change that would have fixed this does not obviously come to mind 😅
