Description

**Description**
When using the Dracula theme in VS Code, snippet placeholders (e.g. `$1`) can be filled normally. However, when selecting the inserted text with `Shift + ←/→`, the selected part has no visual distinction from the surrounding text. It looks like the selection is not applied.

**Steps to Reproduce**
1. Enable the Dracula theme in VS Code.
2. Insert a user snippet containing a `$1` placeholder.
3. Type into the `$1` position.
4. Use `Shift + ←/→` to select the text.
5. Observe the selection effect.

**Expected Behavior**
The selected text should be visually highlighted and clearly distinguished from the surrounding text.

**Actual Behavior**
The selected text has no visible highlight, making it indistinguishable from unselected text.
