[Github-comments] Re: [geany/geany] Selection color changed in default theme but the changed color doesn't take effect if the "Find" dialog box is open. The changed color takes effect only when the "Find" dialog box is closed. (Issue #3874)
The mentioned Scintilla API is already available in the GIT master version of Geany. So we need to use it and probably add some new styles for inactive selection text.
It still needs someone willing to do it but it's possible.
