    Is Dictionary behaving strangely for any other users

    Only displays a black background and blue links, no black text. Looks very strange. I've reported the issue. I'm using the 10.14 Beta (18A314k) on an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015). I thought it might be a glitch related to dark mode, so I tried turning it on. but same thing.

It seems that after Sierra, this feature broke for me. Now it's...
