When selecting text no highlight is showing

Reported by markybo...@gmail.com, Apr 3 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.133 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Select some text either on a webpage or in the address bar. 

What is the expected behavior?
Font changes colour. Background for the selected text changes colour.

What went wrong?
Black text remains black. White background remains white. With other font colour / background colour combinations some changes do occur e.g. grey text on a white background goes to black text on a white background. But certainly nothing as obvious as before.

Did this work before? Yes The previous version

Chrome version: 57.0.2987.133  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 4.1.39-53-default

Unable to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 14.04 using chrome latest stable #57.0.2987.133 by following steps mentioned in the original comment. Observed no color changes in font while selecting the text.

markybooth@ Could you please confirm is this issue is seen on incognito mode as well? Please recheck this issue by crating a new profile under chrome://settings with no apps or extensions in your browser, If issue still persists please provide a screen-shot of the issue for better understanding.

Thanks!
Hi,

Perhaps I should have added my distro information. In case it helps:
openSUSE Leap 42.1

I confirm that the issue is seen in incognito mode too.

It's a little hard to demonstrate things not happening with a screenshot, but perhaps this does help? I've taken a screenshot of your comment and selected the following text:

As you can see, the black text on a white background remains the same. The text on the blue background now has a slightly lighter shade of blue behind it and the blue text has changed to black.

Thanks!

Hi,

I just want to add that I have now updated to Chromium 58.0.3029.81 and the problem is still present.

Thanks,
