Good day. In dark mode in Monterey, when I Spotlight a file and hit command to bring up its path, it shows up in the expected place but as white text, usually on a white background. I cannot see the file path. Please advise.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.1
That's a graphical bug. Please report the issue in detail to:

I suggest an alternative workaround solution. Check out Alfred, a tool that can replace the Spotlight search and do quite a bit more. https://www.alfredapp.com It is free unless you want the more advanced features or wish to help fund development by buying the Powerpack add-on.
Searching for a PDF looks like this and as you can see gives many more options to access the full path, even copy it or navigate to the path, etc.

Thanks, James. Alfred was way too feature-heavy and yet too limited with its free version. I downloaded Raycast (https://www.raycast.com/) and it works perfectly for my purposes. I hope this issue will be fixed in a forthcoming macOS release.
