At [id.discourse.com](http://id.discourse.com), if one were to go to `/t/1`, it brings up a 404 page. However, all the text is white, as is the background of the notice, therefore rendering it invisible.

But it’s definitely there, upon inspection:

While I’m at it, the weird square at the top is filled with white. It has a `fill` property of value `currentColor` (which isn’t valid, I assume), but changing the `fill` property to `black` showed it:
