cursor volume tooltip is unreadable

[L_d_v_c@]

When the mouse click to cursor volume, we can't see anything because a black item is printed instead of volume information.

This bug was reported on Ubuntu 12.04 and confirmed by me:

Bug 74 suggests we should incorporate these values in the hover tooltips
instead, so you don't have to click-to-see.

A workaround for now is to double-click the slider to open the fine adjustment
dialogue.

Also discussed on Ubuntu Forums, including a temporary workaround by changing the tooltip theme:

As this is a tooltip, may I suggest that you adopt the same policy as with all your other tooltips?

That is: use the text colour as specified by the theme rather than forcing it to black.

All your other tooltips work perfectly with this strategy.

That will solve the problem immediately.

This appears to have been fixed by Audacity moving to wx3, which it will support from Audacity 2.1.2 onwards.

This appears to have been fixed by Audacity moving to wx3. I do not see the issue now in HEAD on Ubuntu 14.04 in either "Unity" or "Gnome Flashback".
