No more highlight on focused item in search [$50]

[Cassidy James Blaede]

If I search for something, I can no longer see which item will be opened when I hit enter (or which item is focused if I hit up/down arrows on my keyboard).

This just affects search; highligting the focused item works in the grid view.

afaik, everything should be set up in the theme so that this works. It seems like the issue comes and goes. Anything I can do to provide info about the theme, let me know.

Same here.

The moment I click an item, the gray background reappears shortly.

Been a day and no highlight in sight. :) I can confirm @vin-pii that clicking an item makes the highlight show, but it doesn't show when using the keyboard to choose an item.

(Shows for active, but not focused)

@DanRabbit I figured out when you do and don't see it. :)

On the first search after Slingshot starts (so right after login or after killing it and letting cerbere restart it) the highlighting shows and works as expected. On any subsequent searches, the highlighting no longer shows.

Reproduce by `killall slingshot-launcher` then searching for something to see the highlight works, then click out of slingshot, re-open it, and search again. The highlighting won't work.

In that case I'm going to mark as "incomplete" in the stylesheet since that seems to imply it's something with the app

I can also reproduce it exactly as @cassidyjames wrote above.

@shantanu, please don't change the status. As far as I can tell this is not an issue in the stylesheet, which is why I have marked it as "incomplete" for that component.
