Ah yes, I managed to reproduce it.
The override happens only when "Own text" is not equal to "Normal text". If the two are similar then "Action text" is used.
Ding ding. Thanks. Apparently when I flipped to a black background scheme I completely forgot that "Normal text" was an option and hence, it was left default. Flipping it to white worked. Ty.
In other words, I fail. Lol.
What is odd about this is I tried to copy the settings exactly between two machines (one running 6.35, one running 7.1) but that was never noticed. Sigh.
