--- Comment #7 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tie...@documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

To summarize the issue: with a cell background equal or close to the highlight
color, selections become invisible or hard to spot.

One idea was to follow Excel's example and have an additional frame in the
default cell background color. However, Excel puts the focus around the
selection while we distinguish the two states. This might look ugly.

We may also change the line style. But the proposed dashed appearance could
interfere with the cell border style and the copy state with MarchingAnts being
disabled. The cell background cannot have a hatching, which could be otherwise
an option too.

Another solution could be to alter the highlight color if the cell background
is not the default. The color merge function could be a simple way to implement
this.
