Description RogerAyre 2015-10-08 09:46:47 UTC
html editor is highlighting text so that it cannot be read. It is not using the selected highlight colour and is selecting text without being prompted. I have tried all setting in Netbeans that I can see might effect this without any effect.
I would send you an illustration if I could see how to attach an image

I took some simple text and then highlighted it by dragging over the mouse. Most of the text is now invisible. It is covered by a grey area and not be the highlight colour which is blue.
Whenever I click on a line I get the light bulb with the message 'remove surrounding tag'

Sorry I did this earlier, but have just realised that I did it as a separate message rather than a reply to message, so you may not have sen it.
