"dark theme" as display setting may impair app operation!

Recently, my bank forced me to take a new credit card. Work I did not have been asked for, e.g. integrating it into apps which have a payment function.
Trying this with “Strom Tanken” of SachsenEnergie did not work, because the app freezed.

I can’t define the exact connection of which change was the reason (new phone, /e/ OS 4.3 or “dark theme” in general), as I use that app only when travelling in Sachsen. An intuitive try was to switch the display to normal mode, just to get a usable map display. This is, btw, necessary for other apps with map views, too. After changing this display setting, I was able again to access all its menus again.

So, if you experience an app freezing or not completely working in dark theme, try normal display setting.

At least for me, that is a new experience as my old FP3 had no OLED display, so there was no advantage of using “dark theme”
