Css for :selected not changing text color

Platform
1

I have a widget GtkEntry with a class of freq
The CSS has …

.freq :selected {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font-style: italic;
}

When selected, the font becomes italic but the color remains black.
What have I missed here?

Hi,

From what I can see in the inspector, I expect something like this:

entry.freq text selection {
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

No that doesn’t work. (completely ignores the block… )

{
    color:red; 
    font-style: italic;
}
