[pydev - Users] Python editor ignores text editor color prefs

Hi-

I just upgraded to PyDev 1.3.17.  I have just tried to change my editor background
and
current line highlight colors (via General:Editors:Text Editors), and it has
no effect
on any Python files I open.  It *does* affect C and other files, so it's
something
specific to the Python editor.  Quitting and restarting Eclipse has no effect;
neither
does closing and re-opening the Python files.

I see that the PyDev Features page lists "Background and current line color
chooser"
but I haven't found one in the PyDev preferences (e.g., it isn't in the PyDev
"Appearance color options").  Is there a separate PyDev background/current
line preference somewhere?

Thanks,
Tom

The way to change it would be in the General > Editors > Text Editors preferences
(there's no separate preference in pydev regarding that). Here, when I change
the color for the 'Current line highlight' or 'Background color' in those
preferences, pressing 'Apply' will apply them even on the opened editors (no
need to close/reopen it).

When you change that color and apply it, do you get something in your error
log?

Cheers,

Fabio

Hi Fabio-

Thanks for the quick response; sorry for my delay.

As I noted in the original post, this doesn't affect the current line highlight
in Python
editors.  However, other settings in that pref pane *do* affect the Python editor.
E.g.,
if I change the "Show print margin" setting and hit apply, it turns the margin
line on
and off; or if I change the "Line number foreground" color, and hit apply, the
new
color takes effect even in open Python editors.  It's just the "current line
highlight"
that I've had trouble with so far.

BTW, I'm using Eclipse 3.3.2 on OS X (10.4.11), with PyDev 1.3.18, on a G4 PPC
machine.
As I noted previously, the highlight color choice *does* affect the C (CDT)
editor.

However, I just tried this with the same setup on an Intel MacBook and it works
fine there;
I can change the highlight color and it affects the PyDev Python editor.
