Hilight Color Not Showing in OS X

Problem

Selecting text does not show any hilight color. This happens only in Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger), and only in modal dialogs-- list windows, dimension windows, and any other window that beeps when you click outside the window.

NOTE-- a possibly related problem-- one user reports that clicking to enter text into modal dialogs causes the window to close unexpectedly. We have not yet determined what is different in this user's setup, but we'd appreciate hearing from any other users having similar problems with OS X 10.4.

Diagnosis

This appears to be a bug in Mac OSX Tiger.

Solution

No solution yet. We have reported it to Apple as a possible bug in Tiger.
