It turns out, Russell saw two issues. Upgrading to libgtk-3-0 3.4.2-3
the part of the issue still exists, where highlighting text is done with
black color making it unreadable. This did not happen with the bug
reported upstream is about. Therefore I am reopening this report again.

I too experience the second part of the issue. Upgrading to Evolution
3.4.3 revealed that the fix for #669694 [1]

        libgtk-3-0: Using non-GNOME window manager some areas in GTK application windows are black

is incomplete. With Evolution 3.2.2 everything worked fine after
upgrading to libgtk-3-0 3.4.2-3, but now with Evolution 3.4.3
highlighting/selecting text makes it unreadable because black color is
used.

Additionally, GNOME Terminal seems to have suffered from that issues all
along. There is a black background making the black font unreadable. The
solution is to change the profile setting to not use the system theme.

Please keep in mind, that this does not happen when using GNOME. This
seems to set a system theme alleviating this problem.


Thanks,

Paul
