Reply widget's white background is inconsistent between source and visual mode
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When a reply widget is displayed on a colored background (e.g. due to the site-specific styles at https://ka.wikipedia.org/wiki/ვიკიპედია:ფორუმი/ტექნიკური_საკითხები or https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipédia:Le_Bistro), the colored background "leaks through" in visual mode, but not in source mode. I think in both modes the background should be white, to distinguish the widget from the surrounding page.
