Sorry, I wasn't very clear.  I meant the selection colour in Scintilla 
changes to some light grey colour when it loses focus, maybe only when a 
modal dialog is opened to steal focus, maybe only when using colour 
schemes support (or only visible then).

I did confirm that Colomban sees this also, but we only spent a short 
time looking for the problem and came up with nothing.  My initial 
suspicions pointed to here[1] (based almost entirely on the comments) 
but hacking around there and a few other places didn't seem to fix it.
