Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Run the following from a program file:


      PUBL OF1,OF2
      OF1 = CREA("form1")
      OF1.SHOW

      OF2 = CREATEOBJECT("form2")
      OF2.LEFT = _SCREEN.LEFT+OF2.LEFT+OF1.WIDTH+12
      OF2.TOP = _SCREEN.TOP+75
      OF2.SHOW

      DEFINE CLASS FORM1 AS FORM
         SHOWWINDOW = 0
         HEIGHT = 50
         WIDTH = 200
         ADD OBJECT TEXT1 AS TEXTBOX WITH ;
            TOP = 10, ;
            LEFT = 10, ;
            WIDTH = 150

       PROC INIT
         THIS.CAPTION = "ShowWindow = "+STR(THIS.SHOWWINDOW,1)
         THISFORM.TEXT1.SELECTEDFORECOLOR=RGB(255,0,0)
         THISFORM.TEXT1.SELECTEDBACKCOLOR=RGB(0,255,0)
         THISFORM.TEXT1.VALUE = ;
            STR(THISFORM.TEXT1.SELECTEDBACKCOLOR)+ ;
            " "+STR(THISFORM.TEXT1.SELECTEDFORECOLOR)
         THISFORM.TEXT1.SELSTART=0
         THISFORM.TEXT1.SELLENGTH=LEN(THISFORM.TEXT1.VALUE)
         THISFORM.TEXT1.HIDESELECTION = .F.
       ENDPROC
      ENDDEFINE

      DEFINE CLASS FORM2 AS FORM1
         SHOWWINDOW = 2
      ENDDEFINE

The Top-Level form (where ShowWindow = 2) displays the selected text as white foreground on a blue background. The form where ShowWindow = 0 displays the selected text as red foreground on bright green background. The edit box and combo box controls display the same behavior.
