Dark mode text coloring issues

I use Dark Mode in online outlook. Recently, when I reply to emails the text is being set to White instead of Automatic. This makes my emails appear blank to those not using dark mode. When I try to fix or recolor the text, it gets sent through as white text highlighted black.

These are all very recent problems, please fix these issues so that when I type an email or reply, the text is always set to automatic and will change to white on someone's screen using dark mode and black to someone's screen using regular mode. I should not have to check each email and reply to be sure my audience can read it.

    I confirm this issue re-emerged as of today - In dark mode, I am seeing my text black with the black background while in regular mode the text color is also black, so dark mode does not invert the text color from black to white as it used to. This is also applicable to the emails that I sent days ago, so it is clearly a bug to me - It seems to be widespread since this thread suddenly started having other replies. I Hope Microsoft staff look into it asap.
