Empathy wrong background color selection in kubuntu

[Oliver Borm]

I am using empathy in kubuntu 12.04. When selecting text in empathy, either in the history or at the input, the text color is switched to white, but the background color stays also white. So you'll end up with white text color at white background. The text is marked correctly and you can copy it. I think empathy does in ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals not consider the

[Colors:Selection]
BackgroundNormal=67,172,232

but stays with

[Colors:View]
BackgroundNormal=255,255,255

As a "workaround" you can change

[Colors:View]
BackgroundNormal

to something different than white, but then your complete desktop is changing ...

I have reported the bug according to the description here:

https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Bugs/Reporting#Filing_bugs_at_Launchpad.net

So kubuntu related bugs are reported side by side to plain ubuntu bugs. Please RTFM before you shout !

But as I have reported a problem with empathy, I don't think it is a kubuntu related bug itself but with empathy.

Attached the video. When I select the input text, it appears complete white.
