color when editing code

Hi!

Just a comment, I obtain the following when opening a debugger:

I always have to fiddle a bit to guess where the cursor caret is located.
Am I the only one to experience this?

Cheers,
Alexandre

Re: color when editing code

no Alexandre, you're not alone :)
I see two solutions:
- change the selection color
- disable globally the secondary selection color.

but I think it's an issue.
there should be a way to disable the secondary selection locally (here
in the debugger).
Cheers
Alain

I have the same problem and have wasted a fair bit of time misreading
the actual location of the cursor:)

I like the idea of the highlighting, but the colors used shouln't be so
close together...

you can change it from the setting browser.

I found this problem also. I like the secondary color, but we should put another color by default, becase it is true that it is complicated to notice...
Any idea which color can be?

Re: color when editing code

Maybe only underlined and not highlighted.
