And the text below it (probably not if i got You right, it is the same gays as non-selected...?) the picture is a different matter and the selection is "above" or "over" thepicture, presumably because the picture forms a significant chunk that if it were not overlayed with selection colour, the user wouldn't know whether it is selected or not. Also, for picture, you either select it it or not, and your perception of the picture is that you already know its contents by that time (i.e. you have decided to select it, or to avoid it). Whereas for text, you need to see clearly what you're selecting – do you need another word, another letter? So I suppose that's why it is implemented the way it is: selection "under" the text, irrespective of its colour, and "over" the picture. I take all your points about the disadvantages of XOR, especially the fact that it does probably cause trouble with antialiasing. You prompted me to have a look at how it is actually done onscreen on my macbook pro, and i can see that small type, esp. in italics, is sometimes mostly composed of shades of blue, brown and yellow, and black plays almost no role in it! Most interesting. I also checked for Adobe Indesign CS3 does it, and they obviously have their own routines for font smoothing, beucase it uses only shades of grey! Maybe they did it this way to avoid wreaking havoc with their XOR, or because maybe they're Adobe and want to do things their way. Maybe it's different in CS4, but I don't have that. Anyway..if the highlighting could be one day changed to the way apple does it.. it would be terrific :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
