Form - cannot select or high-light text in Field - html

Question

I am having this really weird issue where I cannot highlight my text in my form fields.
I cannot seem to figure out what the issue is, since everything but that seems to be working correctly.
I can't seem to understand where the problem lies - it doesn't work on Chrome or Safari.

Look for ::selection inside the CSS Stylesheet.
An imported stylesheet or a theme might be include ::selection{background:transparent
for multiple reasons.
looking for that class and editing it can be solve the issue.
Also you can add color: in order to color the text inside your selection.
For mozilla use ::-moz-selection
