[texworks] TW-Highlighting-colors aren't equal to GUI-colors

[Paul A Norman]

Hi Johannes,

I did see a notification of scheduled maintenance on Goggle code over
the last recent while - may be it is related?

In autocompletion, this is no normal selection (e.g., if you hit "Del", you won't remove it), to which the QPalette::Highlight* items above refer. Instead, everything that was added as a result of the autocompletion is highlighted for convenience, so the user can see what has changed. If this were colored the same way as a normal selection, the two would be indistinguishable, which is not the intended behavior.
