A weird thing with this is, at least when using the colour schemes 
support, when you have selected text and then open a modal dialog, the 
selection colours revert to some default grey colour which causes the 
OP's issues anyway.  I haven't had time to pin down where the problem 
comes from, but I think it might be in Scintilla (and/or geany-themes).
