Description:
I just upgraded from 6.3.8 to 6.3.9, and the selecting of text to execute it makes it unreadable.  

On the older version of Workbench, when you selected text, the color of the text would change to white; and the highlight is a blue.  The text was very easy to read.

On the new version of Workbench, when you select the text to execute a block, the text does not change to white.  It actually stays the same color as if the text were not selected.  The blue highlight is the same; so a blue highlight on blue text makes it disappear.

I've marked this as an S2 as there is no workaround to disappearing text.

How to repeat:
(1) Type some text;
(2) Select the block of text that you just typed.

The text disappears.

Suggested fix:
When highlighting text, make the text color white again, so it can clearly be seen through the blue highlight.
