I am attaching an image, although I don't think it's very useful for this type of bug. "manipulate devices" is meant to be highlighted in the image. The slight grey change might not be visible in the screenshot.
It is best to try to replicate it. 1. Open the Software Centre. 2. Select an application. 3. Try to highlight part of description of the application (not the name of it, but the description). 4. Observe the lack of the usual orange highlighting, and a very slight grey change instead. 5. Right click and select Copy, then paste elsewhere to show that it actually was highlighted. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2012-04-30 21:14:21.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/986426/+attachment/3120189/+files/Screenshot%20from%202012-04-30%2021%3A14%3A21.png ** Description changed: In software-center 5.2 (12.04) with the default theme, highlighted text - is difficult to see.
