The selection should be the default selection color for the user's environment
(the OS tracks this somewhere), not black.
When I make a selection, the background selection color flickers.

Accepting bug ... we'll probably want to add a call at the xpfe or gfx level to
choose the selection color, potentially different for every platform; then just
call that routine from the xp selection code.

Note that in CSS3, it's quite possible there will be a :selected pseudo class.
The default selection background color would be exposed as a valid CSS color
value much like the existing system color values in CSS2. The author would also
be able to specifiy (letter|word|line)-at-a-time selection using CSS.
Adding peterl to list since he's the CSS expert. Note: interested folks should
see the Microsoft User Interface extensions proposed to CSS on the W3C's site
(http://www.w3.org/Style/Group/) - you'll need a W3 user/pass to access it. It
contains syntax examples for some of this stuff.

Passing this along to peterl. We need someone knowledgeable about CSS to tell
us what we should be doing with selection color.
Per a request from Selection and Search component eng (mjudge) and qa (elig),
moving all "Selection and Search" bugs to new "Selection" component. Original
"Selection and Search" component will be retired.

See the recently released CSS3 UI draft:
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-css3-userint-19990916
See also bug 15282, which gives a suggested way of fixing this.
Basically, you want to be doing this:
:selection { background-color: Highlight; color: HighlightText; }
...and use the CSS3 functionality mentioned above.

Current behavior: all colors are inverted wherever text is selected, including
background colors and even background images (including animated ones). This
is bad because selecting is supposed to give the user a way to force the text
to be readable, and inverting colors often doesn't do much to make text with
bad contrast readable.
A semi-random page that shows this effect with a background image is
http://www.iwaynet.net/~karinaoi/karin.html . A file
called /BIN/res/samples/test2.html (debug->verification->jpeg images) included
with the current build shows this with an animated background image.

How come this bug is still on my list? Reassigned to mjudge, module owner for
Selection. The selection should use the CSS System Colors but beware, they may
not be all implemented in the platform-specific GFX libs.

*SPAM*: Changing the QA contact of all open/resolved Selection bugs from
elig@netscape.com to BlakeR1234@aol.com. After the many great years of service
Eli has given to Mozilla, it's time for him to move on; he has accepted a
position at Eazel. We'll be sad to see him go, and I'll do my best to fill his
spot...

VERIFIED on Linux 0.9.5 and Gnome 1.2. We need a restart to catch theme changes,
but after that it works.
