Note: This is specific to Linux and possibly KDE.
When cloning an entry with "Replace username and password with references" selected, the username and password are replaced with references like {REF:U@I:UID}. This causes the color of that entry to use the window background instead of a more appropriate color like inactive text, negative text, etc. This makes the text unreadable with a dark scheme.

Expected Behavior

The text should be readable.

Current Behavior

The text is unreadable due to the color used. I know it's not really the color, rather the widget property used to style the item. I'm not a GUI programmer and don't know the proper terminology.

Possible Solution

Style it with an appropriate color from the view color set.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Use KDE on Linux.
2. Change the color scheme to a dark color scheme. System Settings -> Appearance -> Colors
3. Clone an entry and select the option to use references. OR add {REF:U@I:UID} to the username and reopen KeePassXC.
4. Notice the unreadable text.

Context

I can't read entries with references.
