ttk.Spinbox always highlights value

I realised that the ttk.Spinbox always seems to highlight the new value that got chosen via up or down button. Is there a way to avoid this functionality? It's possible to set selectbackground=<background color>, selectforeground=<foreground color> in Style but that just hides the problem.

OS: Windows 10 Home
Tcl/Tk: 8.6
Python: 3.7.3

Reproducable example:

from tkinter import Tk
from tkinter.ttk import Spinbox, Style

root = Tk()
spinbox = Spinbox(root, from_=0, to=10)
spinbox.pack(expand=True)

### How to hide it
style = Style(root)
style.configure('TSpinbox',
                selectbackground=style.configure('TSpinbox', 'background'), #set selectforeground to foreground
                selectforeground=style.configure('TSpinbox', 'foreground')) #set selectbackground to background
###

root.mainloop()

So what is the problem of _'hides the problem'_? – acw1668 Jun 03 '20 at 08:10
That the values will still be selected. So the user could accidentially delete/copy/whatever it. – Nummer_42O Jun 03 '20 at 08:33
Then set the spinbox to readonly mode: `spinbox = Spinbox(..., state='readonly')`. – acw1668 Jun 03 '20 at 08:58
Tried that already but it still got selected. – Nummer_42O Jun 03 '20 at 09:27
