Selected file in file windows hidden

In my file window (download folder), the selected file is suddenly hidden (concealed by a white box). The same thing happens when I go through the individual menu items in the settings (tree, list, etc.). I don't remember changing anything. I wasn't even at home. How do I get it back to the normal view?
Version is 28.00.0502 (64-bit).
Windows 11x64 Pro
4k screen resolution (3840 x 2160)

It seems to be a problem with the latest Win11 update: win11 pro, 64-bit, version 25H2, Build 26200.7019. I am currently researching this...
Workaround: In Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Selections do NOT select "Windows Theme Style".

Issue confirmed for all 32- and 64-bit versions of XYplorer:
Conditions:
- Windows 11 Pro, 64-bit, version 25H2, Build 26200.7019
-
Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Selections is set to "Windows Theme Style".
-
Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Focus rectangle is set to "Solid".
- XYplorer is not in dark mode.
Problem:
- the list row is completely white.
Affected:
- the focused item in all small lists
- the focused item in the main file list IF Full Row Select is enabled.
Workarounds (either of these):
- Set
Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Selections to anything but "Windows Theme Style".
- Set
Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Focus rectangle to anything but "Solid".
- Set XYplorer to its internal dark mode (View | Views | Dark Mode).
Looks like this:
