Hello,
Just installed Q3rc5 with Win7.64 bits.French. To report bugs, I wanted to change my interface user language from French to English.
Using menu “Edit” =⇒ “Application preferences” =⇒ “Language settings” =⇒ “Language”, I notice that the dropdown list (combo box) is hard to decipher as all lines are with black text on a black background. Only the current value is shown with white text on a blue background.

Moving the cursor up and down reveals the other values. After navigating in the list, all values can be read. Going to another item in the Settings and then back to the Language settings : all lines can be read.
Closing the setting and opening it again, the same dropdown list has again all entries in black but the current selected value in blue.

NB: Searches for “dropdown”, “combo”, “selection” etc returned no related task.

Sorry, I forgot to specify in the bug report specifications which operating system my report applies to, even if I mention it in the text.
By the way, this "black list selection box" attitude ;-) apparently applies to all combo box, like "paper size". At least, the "Default color settings" shows colored blocks in the left part.
Also hovering the cursor (arrow) over the list lines, reveals their content. Buth then, it seems tha the lines text are overtyped by a strange text, for instance with the "paper unit" list. The lines remain unreadable even after visiting some other settings.

Actually, all dropdown lists everywhere in QCAD 3 same to have the same 2 (at least) big problems :
- initially black on black for all lines but the current selected value
- when scrolling thru the list, text becomes unreadable garbage. One need to check the only readable value in the line where the cursor is.

Very likely also due to the configured of chosen 'color scheme' or 'theme' or 'style' used in combination with the C++ framework Qt. Same for the highlighting of layers in the layer list.
I will not test other themes than the default one and unfortunately cannot really do anything about this.
