## Message

```
editor: Fix text selection not visible on text background (#26454)

Closes #25014

Previously, we painted in the order: highlights -> text background ->
text -> etc. This caused text selection to be invisible when the text
had a background.

This PR changes the painting order to: text background -> highlights ->
text -> etc.

background in the editor.
