[Evolution] Bug#685465: evolution: Highlight font not readable

[Russell Stuart]

Package: evolution
Version: 3.4.3-1
Severity: important

This bug has been reported upstream:

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682321


Text of submitted bug:

A month or two ago the font used to display highlighted text changed to
black on black on my machine, which obviously is unreadable.  See the 
attached screenshot (which is unmodified apart from cropping).

This may well be a gnome setting somewhere.  I use xfce4, so getting to
those settings isn't easy.  As far as I can tell there aren't any
settings in gnome-control-center and gnome-tweak-tool that control how
highlighting is done.

The screenshot can also be viewed here:
