Research direction
Examine the dark mode styles for dropdown components in the Focalboard codebase. The issue mentions the permissions dropdown in the 'Add new properties' card. Look at relevant CSS files, possibly in the webapp boards directory, for color definitions that might override dropdown text colors in dark mode. Check if there is a theme variable or CSS class that controls the visibility of dropdown items. The fix likely involves ensuring that text color is set appropriately for dark mode, e.g., by applying a theme aware color variable.
