It is theming issue: * affected themes - Ambiant-MATE, Ambiant-MATE-Dark, Radiant-MATE; * not affected themes - BlackMATE, BlueMenta, Blue-Submarine, GreenLaguna, Green-Submarine, High Contrast, High Contrast Inverse, Menta, TraditionalGreen, TraditionalOk.
So all default `mate-themes` themes should be changed to have normal text selection rectangle. See TraditionalOk as good example in attachment. ** Attachment added: "TraditionalOk theme is not affected" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mate-themes/+bug/1763942/+attachment/5254049/+files/TraditionalOk-selection.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763942 Title: Text selection in dialog windows have low contrast Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: New Status in mate-themes package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-mate-artwork package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-mate-meta package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1.
