Hi, When composing an email the To field text types in red. How do you change the red color to something else as it is hard to make out in Dark Mode. See attached. Thanks

There was a way to change the color using css, but it doesn't work since TB 71:

The color change can be disabled by double-clicking mail.autoComplete.highlightNonMatches to false in Config. editor.
