Bug: Lack of text contrast in Navigation lists with Dark Theme

I use the Dark Theme for accessibility because of light sensitivity.

When using Dark Theme, many of the Navigation Panes (including Bookmarks, Content, Order, Tags, and probably others) display black text on a dark grey background, instead of properly switching to light colored text. I think there are other parts of the UI that have this same problem, but I can't enumerate all of them.

The lack of contrast makes these parts of the UI effectively unusable in Dark Theme. Using low screen brightness (again, because of light sensitivity) exacerbates the issue. The bug is very easy to reproduce because it is immediately apparent after switching to Dark Theme. Text contrast is a core accessibility feature, making this a very high priority bug.

I've attached screenshots of the same window with both Dark Theme and Light Theme to illustrate the bug. I am using Acrobat Pro DC 20.9.20074.389258 on macOS Catalina 10.15.6 (19G73).
