text selection consistency

Hello,
I noticed that khtml's text selection differs from virtually all other KDE
applications' selections. Normally a selection is indicated by coloring its
text with KGlobalSettings::highlightedTextColor, and its background with
KGlobalSettings::highlightedColor. All Qt input widgets use this selection
coloring consistently, as well as KDE applications like KWord or Kate (though
configurable there).
Khtml indicates a selection by using the foreground color as the background
and using an inverted foreground color. For consistency reasons I think khtml
should adhere to the global settings, too. As there might be a cause why the
current implementation has been done like this in the first place, I'd like
to discuss it here.
Another thing I noticed is that selected lines have small gaps between the
lines, even with default styles. No other browser I tried exhibits the same
behaviour, not even QTextEditor, therefore it can't be a Qt issue. Would
anybody object if I closed the gaps?
