Any known program does not act so poorly.
How to make seen selection at inactive SciTE window?
Answer, please.
Very much it is necessary.
This is a deliberate feature and is compliant with the Windows User
Experience Guidelines:
"It is best to display the selection appearance only for the scope,
area, or level (window or pane) that is active. This helps the user
recognize which selection currently applies and the extent of the
scope of that selection. Therefore, avoid displaying selections in
inactive windows or panes, or at nested levels."
I seriously disagree whether the intent (or best practice) here is to
display *nothing* for a selection in an inactive window/pane...
*dimming* (or other less attention-getting effect), OTOH, makes quite
a lot of sense for just the *reasons* used above.
And this "de-emphasis" is precisely what apps (Microsoft and
third-party) do on both XP and Vista (I just checked Vista to make
sure)... but the selection [area] is still clearly visible and
distinguishable from the backgrounds.
