Screenshot showing the background color on tables/trees

To reproduce, I added this to my theme's CSS:

Table {
    swt-selection-background-color: #FF0000;
    swt-selection-foreground-color: #000000;
    swt-selection-border-color: #000000;
}

Tree {
    swt-selection-background-color: #FF0000;
    swt-selection-foreground-color: #000000;
    swt-selection-border-color: #000000;
}

The selection background color is working as expected for Trees, but for Tables there appears to be a light grey background drawn over the desired red background if you follow these steps: 

1) Add the above CSS to the active theme
2) Select an item in a Table and note that the selection appears to be themed correctly
3) Click in a different Table/Tree, the background color from the selection in step 2 now looks grey. 

If you adjust the columns so there is an empty column at the end of the table, you'll see that the empty column always has the correct background color.

This is not macOS-specific, I can reproduce in Windows as well.

Additionally, the item that has lost focus can be hovered over, and the hover color is the system default rather than any of the user-defined CSS colors.
