I had to spend an inordinate amount of time searching for an answer to this question. Here is a picture of the Preferences from the 2019-03 JavaEE bundle showing which selection is for changing the background color of text you have selected with your mouse in the editor. This is totally different from the Occurrences that people keep pointing out.

Instead of changing every color individually I solved launching eclipse with the parameter "--launcher.GTK_version 2" This solved the tooltips, the selected text and the selected items problems at once!
