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.
