Another Work around is to change the settings=>appearance=>style. I am using the LInux Mint 13 Maya which is based on Ubuntu 12.04. By using style Mint-X or Mint-Z styles there is absolutely no problem. This style is terrible for other programs like Libre Office. When I do a string search the highlighting of the result is very difficult to see on my system. I have to change the settings=>appearance => style again.
