Public bug reported:

Expected behaviour: I can read text on notifications and popups in
Ubuntu.

Observed Behaviour: Occassionaly, system overlays lose their ability to
show text.

This affects the notification drawer, the sound icon, any popups, and
the login screen.

It can be fixed by restarting Ubuntu.

Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Release:        20.04


I am unable to determine what package shows these overlays. 

I am using the dark theme from Gnome extensions, but switching back to
light does not fix the issue.
