When I view text files on the internet with my Opera browser the background ends up being black and the text is black. I’ve tried tinkering around with the colors under display properties but shesa no work. How can I fix?
It makes it so that I can’t just highlight spoiler blocks and see what’s inside. I have to do View/Source and then do a text search for the words right before the spoiler. And then scroll the window wayyyyy off to the right. 
I think this is just an Opera thing. It’s probably technically correct - if the text and the background are the same color, when you highlight them, they both change to the opposite color…
If anyone knows any way around this, I’d love to hear it. I couldn’t find anything useful at Google or Opera’s website…

To see spoiler boxes in Opera (version 6), either press Ctrl+G or click the “author/user toggle” icon (“document”-looking icon third from left, to the left of your address bar).
I don’t know what your problem’s solution is, but I am using Opera 7.03 and I have never had any problems. Have you changed your system highlight color away from the default?
Version 7 fixed the problem with spoiler boxes, if that’s what the OP was about. I’m not sure it was a “problem,” just a different way that Opera handled highlighting text.
If you’re talking about viewing plain old text files, then I’m not sure what the problem is. Take a look at File, Preferences, Browser look, and then change the settings under “Fonts and colors.”
