Re: [Evolution] Color of selected text...

[Dave Cole <dave nk7z net>]

Milan,

Thank you for the information, and the help!.  You have pegged the
issue exactly as to behavior and what is affected.  I had thought I had
answered the version question upthread, but it seems I did not.  I am
running version 3.18.5.1.  All installs are via synaptic, using
testing, in addition to system updates, save Google Chrome.

Also thank you for the suggestion for the work around, but, as you
said, it seems that it might cause other issues for other applications,
hence my reticence to take that route.

It seems I am running "libwebkitgtk-3.0-0", version 2.4.11-1 already.  
I also see that libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37, and libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37-gtk2 are
still in place.
