Text color in a shape changes when overwriting existing text

Question

Why does the color of the text turn black when modifying text or after backspace?

So I have existing text, when I edit this text and use backspace or I select a portion of the text and overwrite it, the text color of the new text changes to black, where the old text is default (gray).

This is very annoying when you make a typo and use backspace to correct it, since all new text is then black.
