After logging in, when I invoke Slingshot search for the first time the highlight is there -- and it is very useful when scrolling up and down.But after that it is absent. In all cases except during the first use after log-in, it will not be there anymore and scrolling up and down will not be visible (although it will operate in practice, only that I would not be able to see what is selected, thus making that list almost useless).
No highlighted selection in Slingshot (Elementary OS Freya)

Solved after fully updating to Freya stable following this method.It involves: removing daily sources, adding stable sources, replacing kernel 3.13 with 3.16.
