RichSuggestBox SuggestionChosenEventArgs.Format.ForegroundColor only works if BackgroundColor is set to non-Transparent

[kmgallahan]

Describe the bug

In a SuggestionChosen handler, using SuggestionChosenEventArgs.Format.ForegroundColor to set token text color only works if a SuggestionChosenEventArgs.Format.BackgroundColor is set to something other than Colors.Transparent.

If this isn't done then the foreground color used it the default dark blue for links.

Steps to reproduce

Use a handler such as this and observe the text is not white:


private void SuggestingBox_SuggestionChosen(RichSuggestBox sender, SuggestionChosenEventArgs args)
    {
        if (args.Prefix == "#")
        {
            args.Format.ForegroundColor = Colors.White;
            args.Format.Bold = FormatEffect.On;
            args.DisplayText = ((SampleDataType)args.SelectedItem!).Text;
        }
        else
        {
            args.DisplayText = ((SampleEmailDataType)args.SelectedItem!).DisplayName;
        }
    }

Expected behavior

A background color choice should not be required, although I'm unsure if this is a limitation of the RichEditBox control.
