I could reproduce it on my openSUSE system as well. Seems we hit a QScintilla 
problem. Phil, can you please have a look at it.

If you have a style with e.g. a black background the QScintilla background is 
black as well, if no lexer is set. As soon as a lexer is assigned, the 
background changes to white except for actual lines (those having a number in 
the line number margin).
