I don't think so. #256801 deals with text selection colour, this bug is about not being able to  revmove the highlight at all.

Agreed.  Not a duplicate of bug 256801, but it is a duplicate of bug 279022.  Cannot change it, alas.

Sorry about that, I normally CC myself when making changes but forgot to do so this time. In the future, feel free to email the person that made the change to let them know they made a mistake.
