[flexcoders] Re: all text selection in app is grey

[joshuagatcke]

ok, found out what is causing it, a dropshadow filter that I was applying to 
all panels. I am 
not sure how my filter can wreak my text selection color. Can anyone shed light 
on this 
issue? Is it a bug? Here is my filter: 

private function appDropShadow():DropShadowFilter {
    var distance:Number = 1;
    var angle:Number = 90;
    var color:Number = 0x000000;
    var alpha:Number = 1;
    var blurX:Number = 10;
    var blurY:Number = 10;
    var strength:Number = 0.45;
    var quality:Number = BitmapFilterQuality.LOW;
    var inner:Boolean = false;
    var knockout:Boolean = false;

    return new DropShadowFilter(distance, angle, color, alpha, 
        blurX, blurY, strength, quality, inner, knockout);
}

I would love to continue using the filter if possible, but loosing the text 
selection color is 
killing me. Also noticed that the filter is causing my comboBox menu text to be 
invisible 
as well. how is this possible?

Thanks,
