whatever it is it's nothing to do with my config.
happening on my Linux mint, Debian, Fedora  and Ubuntu. (basically every os
i have tested it on)

Does it not happen for you Jussi?

Are other folks out there not getting this bug?

Simple quick test..
load a project, find a nice highlighted line , delete the last char and
re-type it.
then just use the arrow keys or mouse to move the cursor.

on my system the line is not getting highlighted until scrolling ,
selecting/unselecting any text, typing any text or deleting any text,
hovering over the
preview bar and off again.

Odd though make a new link or run as root and all works fine? :-\

also when the text does re-highlight it is after a short pause.
it kinda throws my off base as i use the highlighting a lot as a quick code
checker (it does not highlight properly if code mistakes so i know an
error)  now it's not such the quick code checker.
