New settings editor - hidden selection color

[sguillia]

Issue Type: Bug

The Search settings field inside the new settings editor has no text selection color, or it is the same as the fields background.

When text is selected, one cannot see it.

Also, when pasting something in the middle of the text, the cursor goes all to the right.

Here is a screen recording of the problem

I'm pressing Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V to cut/paste.

This issue is related to this comment: #50249 (comment). Initially I was thinking that selection did not work. It works, but no color appears.

This is probably from your theme, which theme are you using?

[roblourens]

Maybe same as #57281

The two issues are probably the same.

The extensions search bar has the same problem.

Looks like it is the theme indeed. I am using molokai.

Should I open an issue in the theme's repository instead?

No, I think we are not respecting the theme color correctly.
