Not reverting back to light mode

[thanasistrisp]

Steps to reproduce

When windows go back from dark mode to light mode (either manually or with third party app, e.g. auto dark mode app) it remains in dark mode and I need to exit the app and reopen it manually, while all other apps are reverting correctly. The inverse procedure (from light mode to dark mode) works correctly.

Outcome

What did you expect?

To revert from dark mode to light mode correctly 

What happened instead?

It stays in dark mode

After investigation, I notice this behavior:

In case of light theme previously selected:

• Element web is display => theme-light.css is loaded => light theme is applied
• I switch to dark => theme-dark.css is loaded => dark theme is applied
• I switch to light => theme-light.css is loaded => the dark theme is still effective and prevails on the light one
• I switch to dark => no loading of theme-dark.css => dark theme is applied
• I switch to light => theme-light.css is loaded => dark theme is still effective

In case of dark theme previously selected:

• Element web is display => theme-dark.css is loaded => dark theme is applied
• I switch to light => theme-light.css is loaded => light theme is applied
• I switch to dark => theme-dark.css is loaded => dark theme is applied
• I switch to light => no loading of theme-light.css => light theme is applied
• I switch to dark => theme-dark.css is loaded => dark theme is applied
