Actually, this was by design at the 25.2 release (it is in the release 
notes), and revised a bit at the upcoming 25.8 release.

If you don't like the Dark theme's light fg on dark bg appearance, you 
are expected to download and install a new Appearance theme.
A link button 'Add more themes' to the theme extensions is present on 
the Tools -> Options -> Appearance tab next to the list box showing 
Automatic.
An 'Extensions: Color Themes' dialog will open. Select the 'Install' 
button for "Light Application Colors"

The entry 'Light Application Colors' will then appear in the list box 
below 'Automatic'. Select that and Apply OK out. LibreOffice will prompt 
to restart.

This was refined further for 25.8 and the Light Application Color theme 
will not be necessary, a 'Use white document background' checkbox is 
provided and enabled by default.
