Short video showcasing issue. Details turn white when clicked with mouse.
Remain legible when using keyboard to select.

SUMMARY

When using the mouse to select items in detail view, the text in the details
columns have low contrast visibility issues. The text turns white because it
gets decorated to be so during the "Click" event (understandable and
desirable), but does not change back to normal/default color (like the filename
does) once the "Click" event is over.

This is a mouse click decoration issue; using the keyboard to change the
selection does not alter the text color.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1.  Set Dolphin to details view.
2.  Use the mouse to select a file by clicking on it.
3.  During the "click" event the text for filename and file details change
white to maintain good contrast.
4.  Once the "click" event is over the text for the file details remains white
creating low contrast issues.

OBSERVED RESULT

Text color decoration for the file detail columns (i.e., size, modified) turns
white during the "click" decoration event (understandable & desirable). Once
the "click" event is over, the text color decoration is not changed back to
previous/default color and instead remains white, which creates poor legibility
because of low contrast.

EXPECTED RESULT

The text in file detail columns should revert to their previous/default color
once the "click" event is over.
