Description

Selection of edited text on Twitter/X, either in a post edit box or a comment edit box, is not highlighted.

Steps to reproduce

1. Upgraded Brave from 1.71.123 to 1.73.89 on Arch Linux.
2. Opened x.com, started writing a comment.
3. When I tried to select currently edited text by using either mouse click-and-drag, or Shift+Left/Right buttons, or by pressing Ctrl-A, no highlight of selected text was visible. At the same time, selection actually worked: for example, pressing Ctrl-A, Backspace deleted all text.

Actual result

Selection of edited text on Twitter/X is not highlighted.

Expected result

Selection of edited text on Twitter/X should be highlighted.
