WordPress "New Posts"-Editor, white text on white background

when I like to add a new post or page, I get only white text in the white text-field, which is difficult to work with ,-)

I followed http://wordpress.org/support/topic/28-problems-and-solutions-faq?replies=110
– tried different browsers (safari and firefox)
– removed all plug-ins and themes
– deleted everything and performed a fresh wp-installation, and I still had the same issue

these steps helped I my case:
1. open the file wp-includes/css/editor.css in the WordPress Installation
2. search for “.wp-editor-area{color:white}” in the file “editor.css” and replace it against “.wp-editor-area{color:black}” and save
> I noticed this helped only for a local page (see below)
3. I also had to change the file wp-includes/css/editor.min.css
4. search for “.wp-editor-area{color:white}” in the file “editor.min.css” and replace it against “.wp-editor-area{color:black}” and save
5. upload the two file to the wordpress installation
6. reload the page and I had a black blinking cursor and could write black text 🙂

I’m not sure where the difference is between editor.css and editor.min.css

let me know if this helps you

why I changed those to files:
– entered text in the wordpress editor and saved as preview and save this page local, this way I found out, which css-files are used format the editor page. After searching for the ID that is used for the text-editor-field and found this text “.wp-editor-area{color:white}”
-> reload the page and it worked, doing the same with the wordpress installation on the hosted installation, It didn’t work
– using the Safari debug menu to find out that the editor was using the “editor.min.css” and after changing this file, it worked also on the hosted wordpress installation
