The bug
Text does not get highlighted when selected, for example with ctrl+a or with shift+left/right arrow keys. This makes it impossible to see what text is selected.
Steps to reproduce:
Open chat
Enter some text
Select some text, for example with ctrl+a or with shift+left/right arrow keys.
→ ❌ Text is not highlighted, and remains visually unchanged

Click and drag doesn't select text at all. Ctrl+x, ctrl+c, ctrl+z and ctrl+y have no effect either.
