Build Identifier: 

I'm not sure if this is due to a change in plasma 5 / gtk or chromium but first noticed it on update to chromium 56
Chromium text selection colour / highlight colour is now white. When selecting text on a white background this results in the text disappearing. Up until recently chromium honoured plasma 5's text selection colour. Indeed Chrome 56 still does use the system text selection colour as do all other gtk apps being used in plasma.

Rolling back to Chromium 55 does not correct the problem so perhaps the issue is not within chromium itself.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Chromium should use the system text selection colour.

Chrome & Chromium text selection

In the top image you can see text selection using Chrome 56. In the bottom image exactly the same text has been selected in Chromium 56 - but it cannot be seen due to the white text selection colour.

Looks like a chromium issue to me, reassigning.
