before hover:

kde_widget_bug_before_hover

after hover:

this is theme related, is my guess.

go to global themes and reset breeze back to its defaults to see if that cures it.

unfortunately that does not seem to do the trick - also switching to a new theme (default) keeps the foreground color black.

switch from breeze dark to fedora > log out > log in
