#131 selected text often has black font color

[Philip Ogren]

Generally, when you select text the background color should be blue and the font should be white (or whatever the system values are). There are many times when the text of selections is actually black. It looks bad and is hard to read. Here's how to duplicate:

- select a span of text
- hold down the control key
- highlight some other non-connected span of text
- observe the font color of the span of text selected first
