------- Additional comments from [email protected] Thu Feb 5 16:34:52 +0000 2009 ------- @aw: Apple is consistent. The talk of blue was mine, but screenshot was Graham's. The appearance panel of the system preferences determines the highlight colour. I presume XOR = old style, "inverted" highlighting. Being more contrasty, it is definitely easier to read than the current implementation in OOO. But if it can't be made to look like it is in apple apps, I suppose it is something we have to live with... It's not a deal-breaker. I sent another screenshot where you can see how it looks when text as well as image is selected (from safari). Out of curiosity, third screenshot, from Adobe's Indesign CS3. you can see it uses the old style, "inverted" highlighting. To be honest, I wasn't even aware that Indesign does it differently from let's say, Safari or Textedit. I did not even consciously know how it was in the old OOO (= "inverted"). But when OOO was changed, I immediately noticed the difference in legibility. I don't want to question that you got positive feedback for this change, but I certainly doubt it "raises readability". It certainly did not improve readibility for me! It might not be a "defect" in the sense that you designed it in this way (and you told us why), but it is a departure from how this feature is implemented system-wide. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
