Short video showcasing issue. Details turn white when clicked with mouse. Remain legible when using keyboard to select.

SUMMARY

When using the mouse to select items in detail view, the text in the details columns have low contrast visibility issues. The text turns white because it gets decorated to be so during the "Click" event (understandable and desirable), but does not change back to normal/default color (like the filename does) once the "Click" event is over.

This is a mouse click decoration issue; using the keyboard to change the selection does not alter the text color.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1.  Set Dolphin to details view.
2.  Use the mouse to select a file by clicking on it.
3.  During the "click" event the text for filename and file details change white to maintain good contrast.
4.  Once the "click" event is over the text for the file details remains white creating low contrast issues.

OBSERVED RESULT

Text color decoration for the file detail columns (i.e., size, modified) turns white during the "click" decoration event (understandable & desirable). Once the "click" event is over, the text color decoration is not changed back to previous/default color and instead remains white, which creates poor legibility because of low contrast.

EXPECTED RESULT

The text in file detail columns should revert to their previous/default color once the "click" event is over.
