Line where cursor is located disappears in line highlighting

[Stefan Kirsch]

Hi, this is a potential bug report.

On my NP++, the line where I place the cursor disappears behind a bar. It looks to me like the color of the text is the same as the color of the highlight for the currently selected line. The bug only seems to affect the line where the cursor is currently located. When I select lines (e.g. with Ctrl+A) everything is still there, except for the line where the cursor is.

I am on windows 10 Enterprise.

The only thing that resolved this is reinstalling NP++. But as soon as I got to dark mode once, the problem is back.

Do you have the CSVLint plugin installed?

@Stefan-Kirsch ,

You might want to follow similar steps to what I suggested in this post – that other post was about the “multi-selected text colour” setting, but your stylers.xml and themes\DarkModeDefault.xml might be missing some of the recent style definitions, and the default it chooses with those undefined styles might not be compatible with your color choices.

So you basically need to compare the whole <GlobalStyle>...</GlobalStyle> section from your copies of those two settings files to the same section in stylers.model.xml, and copy over any lines that are missing from the stylers.model.xml version into your config files. Once you restart, you can use Style Configurator with either the default-theme or DarkModeDefault theme selected, and change the new colors to better match the colors you’re using for other things.

This still worked for me a year later, thanks!
