Hi, i noticed that there is no longer any hightlight color for selected code in editor. What i mean is that when i select a section of code in the editor, it does not show me what i selected via some kind of color highlight.

I am using firefox.

So i went to the editor settings via the editor keyboard shortcuts (for me its CTRL-, (CONTROL COMMA) and looks like the default editor theme is called chrome, so i changed the editor theme to several other themes, same result.

I am not sure if there have been changes to the editor to remove any hightlight color but it looks like there have been because it used to work. It really makes it hard to know what you have selected if you cant see what you have selected via a hightlight.

I even tried setting firefox themes to all default and still the same.. I can see the hightlight if i select text on a webpage, but nothing in the editor, so it has to be something in the editor that is turning off hightlights.

Thanks

Hi sure,

open file manager and choose any file php or html or whatever, Then click on Edit (not the HTML editor, just Edit) and then try to highlight something, anything. You will see that there is no highlight to anything you just selected. It selects it but it does not highlight the selection so you really have to trust it that it did select it when you copy it.

What i mean by select something is that you start in one place with your cursor in the file and then left click and drag over the code....

hope that helps...

are you able to duplicate this on your end?

Thank you for your quick reply. Just to let you know the resolve on this. I removed all of my extensions for both browsers and still no luck. So i finally had to reset both chrome and firefox to default and whalahhhhh ! The highlight is working again in cpanel, have no idea what was causing it but doing the reset on browsers worked.

Again thanks... :)
