Description

### Description

Possibly related to 10 year old issue https://github.com/dbeaver/dbeaver/issues/122

This is using default settings. See image below showing the content assist popup. I cannot read this popup due to the highlight foreground and background colors being so similar (not enough contrast)

Start by reproducing the content assist popup on Ubuntu 22.04 with the default DBeaver settings, using the screenshots and version details in the issue.
