Sherry - the letters underneath are not white - they are still the same colour (either red or blue depending on whether it is male or female).
John - I wasn't "reporting" an issue - I was asking if anyone else had the same highlight colour and whether I could change it at all. I have already reported an unrelated problem to Support who are working through it for me. This was just a query as to whether there was something I could change in settings. Obviously the blue highlight cannot be changed - now I have to work out why my letters are not changing to white when the line is highlighted as Sherry says they should. As I posted I am on .364 - the latest version concerned the Geo problems - the highlight and the non changing colour for the letters has been there since Day 1 and has no changed in each update. There are always teething problems with all new updates on nearly every programme - it is just a matter of sorting through what can be altered on this side of the fence.
