@aw: Apple is consistent. The talk of blue was mine, but screenshot was 
Graham's. The appearance 
panel of the system preferences determines the highlight colour.
I presume XOR = old style, "inverted" highlighting. Being more contrasty, it is 
definitely easier to read 
than the current implementation in OOO. But if it can't be made to look like it 
is in apple apps, I 
suppose it is something we have to live with... It's not a deal-breaker. 
I sent another screenshot where you can see how it looks when text as well as 
image is selected (from 
safari). Out of curiosity, third screenshot, from Adobe's Indesign CS3. you can 
see it uses the old style, 
"inverted" highlighting. To be honest, I wasn't even aware that Indesign does 
it differently from let's 
say, Safari or Textedit. I did not even consciously know how it was in the old 
OOO (= "inverted"). But 
when OOO was changed, I immediately noticed the difference in legibility. I 
don't want to question that 
you got positive feedback for this change, but I certainly doubt it "raises 
readability". It certainly did 
not improve readibility for me! It might not be a "defect" in the sense that 
you designed it in this way 
(and you told us why), but it is a departure from how this feature is 
implemented system-wide.
