Bug Description

Pinta from master repository on Ubuntu 22.10.

Now that we have changed drop-down menus in https://bugs.launchpad.net/pinta/+bug/1996441 to white & black I have noticed that drop-down menus do not preserve current selection.

For example:
1. Line/Curve.
2. Dash and select one of the dashes and draw line on canvas.
3. Go to Dash drop-down menu and current selection from previous step is visible.
   Note: Dashes are terrible broken. I reported a bug at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pinta/+bug/1959032
4. In Line/Curve select Fill Style | Fill Shape and do some drawing on canvas.
5. Fill Style drop down box and selection from previous menu is not displayed. Now that are white & black colors it is more difficult to know which selection is really selected.

It would really be nice to know which of the selection is currently selected.
Maybe even better instead of selection (that will immediately disappear when mouse is moved to one of the menu selection) mark current selection with dot in front of selection. See attachment.

I'm not sure what the best way to do this with the standard GTK widgets is, but it's a good improvement to look into

I see bullet selection is already available in menus. Don't know if this helps, just to point it out. See attachment.
