Fillable form. Active field is filled with black. Can't see what you are typing.

When choosing the option "Replace Document Colors" Acrobat always fills in the active (blinking cursor) text field with black. The user cannot see what they are typing, and they do not want to change their text to white just to be able to see. Users here like to change their background to yellow. This has worked fine in Acrobat Pro 9, 10, and 11. But since upgrading to Acrobat Pro DC 17, the users can no longer change their background color because it blacks out their textfields as they are typing. After deselecting a text field, it no longer is filled with black. Only when editing a field does it turn black and unreadable.

Anyone having similar issues?

Thanks

On MacOS Acrobat, they completely fail to pass the color from the color picket to the acrobat object.
For choosing a fill color for a comment object (rectangle) > on the comment tool bar, click the fill color and change it prior to placing the rectangle.
