Describe the issue:

When I open a help-file, like ?rnorm, the help page has a dark font and dark background (when using dark themes).

Must have been temporary, due to auto-update, or maybe extension restart. After restarting Positron, this issue is fixed. You may close, unless you want to investigate further (but I have no idea how to reproduce this at the moment...)

I have experienced this as well from time to time. No reliable way of reproducing unfortunately.

It also looks like the content is unstyled with no CSS at all; seems like something has gone wrong with the CSS proxying that we do here.

• @vrognas are you also on Windows?
• Have either of you seen this in light mode?

I have experienced it on both latest macOS and Windows 11. I am only using dark mode so can't speak for light mode, sorry. Usually when this happens I restart the IDE and things work as expected again (for a while).
