Summary
I have “Mattermost Dark” theme enabled and sometimes the style looks quite broken and unreadable.
Details on GitHub: https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/5741
Steps to reproduce
I found no way to consistently reproduce this.
- Firefox
- GitLab Mattermost
3.9.0
and before - let Mattermost running for some days/weeks
Expected behavior
Things should look as usual:

This error message appears in firefox developer console just after reloading the tab on a page with dark theme (not /<team>/integrations/
) when the issue currently exists:

- It may be caused by a long period of inactivity or by waking the computer from sleep, but it does not happen every time.
Things that does not fix the problem
- changing the channel
- Reloading the tab
- Logging out and in again
Things that does fix the problem temporary
- creating a new empty channel, opening it and reload the tab
- switch to the “Organization” theme and switch back to “Mattermost Dark”. (The settings modal does not disappear after clicking on the
x
.) Reload the tab.
