Public bug reported: I just installed a fresh new ubuntu machine, installed emacs, and went through the tutorial. When the tutorial describes selecting text, it says "Emacs highlights the text between the cursor and the position where you typed C-<SPC>".
However, the color used to highlight the selection region (#FAFAFA) is almost the same as the default background color (#FFFFFF), and is not visible to a normal human eye. The default color of such a basic feature (mentioned in the tutorial, just after cusor movements) should be more sensible.
