text on white background.

Wrote "Hello" and printed it to a PDF file.
SUMMARY
When Plasma is using dark theme, selecting File -> Print/Export -> Print
Preview seems to change the theme of the editor view to "Printing". The editor
shows black text on white background, but the preview dialogue itself is using
white text on white background; I see nothing.
I clicked the print button and chose PDF. The PDF looked empty. When I tried
text selection tool, it seemed that I could select something. I copied it and
pasted it into a text editor, and the text was there. So, the PDF is using
white text on white background.
Isn't it a bug that invoking the print preview changes the editor's theme? I
have to change it back, which is cumbersome. The preview is showing in a
separate pop-up window, so I am not sure if it is necessary to change the
editor's theme. At least shouldn't KWrite change editor's theme back when the
preview window is closed?
Also it seems that on a monitor with fractional scaling, the window size of
print preview is very small and I have to resize it every time.
Both Kate/KWrite seem to do exactly the same thing.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set dark mode for Plasma, and a dark theme for the editor
2. Print Preview
3. Print to PDF
OBSERVED RESULT
White text on paper
EXPECTED RESULT
Black text on paper
