The only time I experienced a similar problem was when I gave kubuntu a try.
Suddenly Lazarus (in gtk2) and all my programs created by lazarus (with
gtk2) had this exact problem. Very annoying. Just using plain ubuntu with
standard themes I haven't had the problem though.

The color clHighlightText is now using the correct gtk
text_gc[GTK_STATE_PRELIGHT] style. Apparently this is buggy under gtk1
themes, so the gtk1 intf now uses the bg_gc[GTK_STATE_PRELIGHT] style
again, while the gtk2 intf can use the "right" one.
It should now work under gtk1+2.
