Bug Description

When you rename something in nautilus and select part of the text, the selection is not shown.

Steps to reproduce:
 * Right click on a file or a folder and click rename.
   (at this time the name should be automatically selected)
 * If not automatically selected, manually select part of the name.

Expected behavior:
 * selected text color should change from black to white
   (or from white to a brighter white if the dark theme is enabled).
 * selected text background color should change from white to blue (or other color)
   (or from dark-grey to to blue (or other color) if the dark theme is enabled).

Actual behavior:
 * the text color is changing in the expected way.
 * the background color is not changing (or is set to a transparent color).

In the attached screenshot I've selected only "ThisTextIsSelected" and NOT selected "ThisIsNotSelected".
In the screenshot is shown the behavior with both the light and dark Adwaita theme.
