   That happened with an update to Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) around a   
   year ago.  It seems an update to the "Ubuntu Regular" font used as the   
   system default font meant the bold highlight didn't work.   
      
   There were suggestions in the alt.os.linux.mint newsgroup to downgrade   
   the package proving the font and pin it at the older version.   
      
   I just changed the default font on the system to Liberation Sans Regular   
   instead.  At the time I didn't think it looked quite so nice generally,   
   though not all that bad and now I can't remember how it was different   
   from the original font anyway.  In Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop the   
   fonts are set under System Settings > Font Selection (in the   
   "Appearance" section).  It's probably different in OpenSUSE / Gnome, but   
   perhaps that gives an idea of where to look.
