Cannot see accent mark options or word options when typing in Mac OS Tahoe

Since upgrading to Tahoe, I am no longer able to see text options when using other keyboards or when trying to input an accent when typing. Is there a way to fix this?

This is a bug in macOS Tahoe, and not fixed in the 26.0.1 update. It occurs on a white background, but not on a dark background. You can see that here, where I'm decreasing the width of this Apple Support Communities post window in Safari with a second Safari window behind it, that one with a black background.





Bugs can be reported to Apple here:

Hi Tom, thanks for the response. Unfortunately I think this is a separate issue, the accent menu appears, however the liquid glass style in Tahoe makes it impossible to read the text in the accent menu on websites with white backgrounds since the text in the dropdown is white as well. Others with this issue (myself included) have noticed that the accent menu appears as it used to in previous OS versions for a split second and then changes to the transparent box with white text. It appears to be a glitch or oversight, and a bug report has been submitted on my part.
