I have the same problem, but with a hand-made widget.

I see my theme has the following CSS:

@define-color selected_bg_color #f07746;
@define-color selected_fg_color #ffffff;

*:selected,
*:selected:focused {
    background-color: alpha (@selected_bg_color, 0.9);

    color: @selected_fg_color;
}

So my question here is: does "*" apply also to elements that don't have 
any class at all? If the answer is yes, I'm really lost on what the 
culprit of my problem might be...
