Bug in font color of Android 10 pixel launcher google search bar on dark mode?

I update my  pixel 3xl to android 10 lat night and now the google search bar on the home screen seems to have the wrong font color.

to replicate:
   1. enable dark mode
   2. navigate home
   3. use the google search bar at the bottom of the screen
          -  the history will be unreadable since its on black font on dark background
          -  if you start typing you will only see what you have typed, the search prediction  will not be visible because of the same problem

would this be a pixel launcher bug or an android 10 bug or something else?

From a developers view this seems like a quick fix, I don't know how fast these developers are, how long would they take to fix this?

Hi Nacho,
 
This does appear to be an issue with using the search embedded in the Pixel Launcher. Please be sure to report it to the developers via Settings > About phone > Send feedback about this device.
 
Cheers,
John

Solution!
There's a setting called high contrast mode. This is found at the very bottom of settings>accessibility. If enabled, all the black text against the black dark themed will become visible! (But ugly). I hope Google fixes this issue with a better solution soon.

Had this issue on my pixel 3 and wasn't in the beta. Saw someone else fixed it by joining the beta, so I tried that and it worked for me.

I also have this issue. I was part of the Android P beta program and everything worked swimmingly; however, upon the full release of Android P, the font colors on the search appliance suddenly changed from white to dark grey and is indistinguishable from the background color.
