Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When you rename something in nautilus and select part of the text, the selection is not shown. Steps to reproduce: * Right click on a file or a folder and click rename. (at this time the name should be automatically selected) * If not automatically selected, manually select part of the name. Expected behavior: * selected text color should change from black to white (or from white to a brighter white if the dark theme is enabled). * selected text background color should change from white to blue (or other color) (or from dark-grey to to blue (or other color) if the dark theme is enabled). Actual behavior: * the text color is changing in the expected way. * the background color is not changing (or is set to a transparent color). In the attached screenshot I've selected only "ThisTextIsSelected" and NOT selected "ThisIsNotSelected". In the screenshot is shown the behavior with both the light and dark Adwaita theme.
