I have just checked, and I only get this bug fully when I have dark theme activated. It's also bugged in light theme. But less heavily. PLEASE FIX THIS ALREADY!

Description
What steps would let us observe this issue?
1. Open YouTube.
2. Play a video.
3. Go the the comment section.
4. Start writing a comment.
5. Select the text of your comment by either: Long pressing on a word and than swiping to the other words you want to select; or: By double tapping on a word.
6. Alternative method would be to just long press on an empty chat field in YouTube as if you wanted to past something.
What did you expect to happen?
I expected the selected text to show as selected and therefore easily to edit. I also expected the options for "copy, delete, cut" etc. to appear.
What actually happened?
The selected text was not shown as selected. Instead it was blocked by a huge black field that covered all of my text (the black field was smaller when there was no text). The options for "copy, delete, cut" etc. did appear.
How often has this happened?
Every time
What was the effect of this issue on your device usage, such as lost time or work?
Moderate
Additional comments
This is also happening in Android 11 since over half a year now. It would be great if you could finally address this bug, Google!
