[Qt4-preview-feedback] Assistant navigation regression

[Stephen Wong]

Since there is a discussion on navigation in Assistant, I thought that it 
might be good to post another issue I had.

In 4.5.0-rc1, I found that using the find interface now uses a light grey to 
highlight the word in certain cases, which makes it very difficult to spot. 
I know this is probably system-dependent, but I am bringing this up because 
it didn't occur back in 4.3.x.

On my system, Vista 32-bit with default colour schemes, active is blue and 
inactive is light-grey, which is surprisingly close to white.  Thus it is 
hard to spot highlighted words when using the find interface.  This occurs 
when I first type a word into the find box (and press Enter), or use the 
Find Next and Find Previous buttons.  It appears to be because the window 
containing the document is not active.

However, if I click onto the document and use F3 to search again, the result 
is shown using the in active colour (blue).  Again, I assume this is the 
case because the document is now active.

Again, this colouring change did not occur in 4.3.x.  When I try it there, 
it's always active (blue).

I hope my description is clear...

Regards,

Stephen
