Attachment: dark vs light mode unfocused selections

In Cards View in dark mode unfocused selected messages do not have a distinct enough background to be distinguished from unselected messages.

Windows OS using beta 130.0b1

This is what I see.
As I use a userChrome.css file to alter many issues, in this image I'm using Troubleshoot Mode.
But I do see the same in normal mode.

I'm not seeing the same issue as you.
I'm ok with what I see.

But I have had a report from someone who did not have good eyesight and they remarked on the problem of disppearing information such as 'Number of unread' mail in Folder Pane which has occured since update - they have to select the folder in order to see the count.
People with poor eyesight may find the paler background of a selected email too pale and the text may not stand out clear enough. Making the background a stronger blue as it used to be in previous versions may help to resolve the issue.

Does this affect Thunderbird back to version 128?

Yes, I checked against esr 128.1 and it does indeed.

[Approval Request Comment]
User impact if declined:
Selected messages will be unable to be distinguished from not selected messages when the message list is unfocused in dark-mode.
Testing completed (on c-c, etc.):
Both automated and extended manual testing.
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky):
Very low risk as this contains only minor changes to the CSS.
