Make sure that you don't have multiple themes loaded.

It's supposed to look like this btw.

I've seen this problem on two machines.
One Windows 10 and one Ubuntu 20.04

This is the Windows face:

Face: region (sample) (customize this face)

Documentation:
Basic face for highlighting the region.

Defined in ‘faces.el’.

The face on a Ubuntu Mate 20.04 machine where it is working.

Once I'm back home I'll check the Ubuntu 20.04 machine as well.
I checked my custom.el on the Windows machine for any old theme configs but could find anything.

On Windows I can fix it when I set Inverse to nil.
I don't know where that gets set however.

Happens at home as well.
I reckon I somewhere set the Inverse setting to t.
I'm going to close it because I was able to fix it like this.
