Background color for admin's m2m multi-select "selected" rows is lost in dark theme

[Giannis Terzopoulos]

I noticed today that the color that is currently used for selected m2m items is indistinguishable. It might not be as noticeable to others, I'm not sure, I have some color difficulties. Only dark theme seems to be affected.

I am attaching 2 screenshots, how it looks on 5.1 and on 5.0.9

Hello Giannis, thank you for your report!

I have tried to reproduce and these are my findings:

• in Chrome, both light and dark mode have good contrast for the selected m2m, both when the m2m widget has focus and when it does not.
• in Firefox, when using the dark theme, there is good contrast for when the m2m widget has focus but there is no color difference when the focus is moved to another element.

I bisected the regressing revno to be b47bdb4cd9149ee2a39bf1cc9996a36a940bd7d9

Would you like to prepare a patch?

Hi Natalia,
I didn't check the code yet, but this might be an issue with the CSS class :focus on the element if there is one (or missing)

or it could be the change of ::-moz-focus-inner CSS class if the property exist in the CSS stylesheet. I can check deeper if needed :)
