How can I direct emacs *not* to change the color of the *text* in a selecte=
d region? (It's okay to change the background color.)

I did a recent installation of Ubuntu 14.04. The new emacs version changes =
the color of the text in a region to white to accompany the background colo=
r change. I don't like this behavior and would like to revert to the previo=
us behavior, which was to change the background color only and leave the te=
xt color alone.

The jpg image at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4BAQmmnJQ4HU1hCUUtGb3ZHd=
TQ shows what I mean much better than I can describe it. The emacs session =
on the left is the old behavior (where the colors of "selected" text remain=
 unchanged). The emacs window on the right (partially hidden) shows that th=
e the selected text has been changed to white. That's what I don't like and=
 would like to disable.

Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks.
