Research direction
Reproduce the issue in a Linux virtual console using micro 2.0.12 with TERM set to "LINUX", opening a file such as ~/.bashrc and selecting text after setting the default colorscheme. Then trace the terminal rendering and selection handling from the micro entry point; done means selected text is visibly highlighted in the TTY while selection operations continue to work.
