Since the routine affected by the preference "ui.use_standins_for_native_colors" does not include nsLayoutUtils::GetColor, how can the patch fix the bug?

Since not even Arthur seems to understand what exactly the Tor patch fixes and neither does the mozilla dev, I'd say let's wait and see how the ticket evolves before we rush to include this

ui.use_standins_for_native_colors makes tool-tips unreadable for me - the font color seems to be same as the background color (default theme on Linux)

from post above...

It has one particular bug with a particular color set, not a bug in blocking leakage of system colors: quote Arthur: "but that mode doesn't operate quite correctly when the desktop theme calls for white on black text".

tool-tips always seem to have a black background color (unless set differently by the document i suppose) and, with this pref = true, the text also appears black
