Recreating the plist file solved the problem.

When this routine was made faster and more reliable in TeXShop 2.10, the modification broke the ability to change the background and foreground colors in TeXShop's source window. Toundykov's patch fixes this problem.

Even odder is that when I select (highlight) the command, the missing characters appear but they are white and can be seen only when contrasted with the highlight color.
