Hi All,
I just pushed a "fix" for switching colour schemes from say dark to default leaving selection unchanged.
But in reality the code at highlighting.c doesn't actually do what it advertises, the comment says "to override default" which matches the documentation, but in fact what the code does is "to change from what is currently set". Of course if you are changing from default to another colour scheme thats ok, but if you are changing from a colour scheme that has changed this setting then what is set won't be default.
I think the code should be: if (common_style_set.styling[GCS_SELECTION].bold) SSM(sci, SCI_SETSELFORE, etc... else SSM(sci, SCI_SETSELFORE, whatever the default is)
but I can't find where to get the real default value and have run out of time.
I've committed a fix, and also restored using the default foreground color for selections, so the style information can still be seen. You're right to enable the default background color, as otherwise with no overrides users can't see any selection.
The default is explained here: http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html#SCI_SETSELFORE
SCI_SETSELFORE(bool useSelectionForeColour, int colour) SCI_SETSELBACK(bool useSelectionBackColour, int colour) You can choose to override the default selection colouring with these two messages. The colour you provide is used if you set useSelection*Colour to true. If it is set to false, the default styled colouring is used and the colour argument has no effect.
