I recently updated to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Since update, settings in ubuntu doesn't have proper selection highlighted.

See the screen shot, which selection is selected is not highlighted

Also menu items appears to be cramped

look at File, Edit, etc

Output of gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme is 'Arc'.

After upgrading from 16.04 to 18.04 I had the same issue. I fixed it with the following:

sudo apt purge arc-theme
sudo apt install arc-theme

Note: be aware that this will completely remove arc-them including any customizations.

It seems the GTK+ theme you're currently using (Arc in your case) is broken (or unavailable) somehow.

Install (GNOME) Tweaks by running

sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

and use it to change your GTK+ theme (try the default ones: Ambiance and Radiance). See this for reference.
