textedit selection doesn't highlight

Adam Murray's icon

Normally in textedit when you drag the mouse, your selection is highlighted blue. But this only works if the background is white. If you change the background color with the brgb message, highlighting doesn't work correctly.

I'd really like to use these features together. Any chance it works properly in Max 5?

Is it possible to turn the textedits highlight off? Or change it's color?

Kind regards,
