Package: yelp
Version: 42.2-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Opening Yelp shows a black background (if Dark theme is selected in the 
Gnome
settings) or a white one (if Light theme is selected).
In both theme conditions no text is visible. Moving the mouse cursor 
inside the
windows makes sometimes turn the cursor from arrow (default) to the 
hand/link
one. I believe this is because I am hovering the mouse where some text is
supposed to be displayed, but it's same color as the background.

I also tried to install the version 49.0-1 from Testing; no difference
observed.

The issue can be observed either launching Yelp from the Gnome Dash or by
clicking the Help menu in a app which has the manual on Yelp.

Thanks!
