Using Powershell, and the Solarized Dark theme, any text preceded by, and including a "-" is the same as the background color. This is assumed to be due to the definition of "background" and "brightBlack" being identical -> #002B36

Environment

Win32NT 10.0.18362.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18362.0

Any other software?

Visible text, i.e. changing the Solarized Dark "brightBlack" definition to #777777 the text displays as expected
# Actual behavior

<!-- What's actually happening? -->
Text not visible

Yeah, the solution here is "we should not have shipped Solarized as a stock theme" moreso than "it is broken"
