What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. set editor theme to spyder/dark & restart Spyder
2. open editor panes (should have black background color) and then close all editing panes in the GUI
3. open a new file in the editor

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to see a file in the editor with a black background.
I see instead a white background with only the text background set to black (see screenshot)

Please provide any additional information below

I've seen this problem before. I think it's a bug in Qt 4 (the graphical toolkit used by Spyder).

I hope it'll be fixed once we move to Qt 5. Other than that, we can't do anything about it from our side.

If you restart spyder after you have changed the colour it works (the entire background is filled in)
