Ian, I did as you suggested and removed the AttrWrap widget from all the Text widgets, leaving just the one that goes around the Column widget, and now nothing is highlighted.
Here are three screenshots of what I'm getting: http://upload.jkvl.com//files/2/no_column-text_only.jpg is of the placeholder I was using previously, where the row highlighter was working properly. http://upload.jkvl.com//files/2/no_column-text_only.jpg is the after I implemented your suggested and removed teh attrwrap from each individual Text widget, and just left the one that was wrapping the entire Column widget. Thinking the reason for the AttrWrap widget not working was because of the Column widget, I got rid of the formatting and used a Text widget. The last screenshot, http://upload.jkvl.com//files/2/no_column-text_only.jpg shows the results of this test... interestingly enough, still no row highlighter shows. Here's an example of the markup I'm using: [('new index', 'Jxx 77'), [('new index', '[email protected],'), ('new index', '[email protected]')], ('new index', '7'), ('new index', 'RxDPTI Bxxxx Rxxxxx'), ('index label', ''), ('index sample', 'xxxxxx: PTI Bxxxx Pxxxxxxxx: STARTED... xxxxxx: PTI Bxxxx Pxxxxxxxx: Rxxxxxxxx x')] Rereading your email I had another idea and made one more change which made the cause obvious: the screenshot http://upload.jkvl.com//files/2/voila_the_problem_revealed.jpg tells the story. So does this mean my only choice is to switch over to the developmental version?
