Glad to hear bugs have been squashed.

The line highlight colour change is expected. It still indicates if CodeView has focus.

I tried to force focus in earlier test builds but that is a blind alley that was doomed for failure.

So I went back to Sigil 1.5 and 1.7 and watched and noticed that focus was never forced onto CodeView.

Next I went and noticed, that under earlier test builds, matches were actually found and selected but you can not see them anymore due to the inactive (no focus) current line highlighting in CodeView.

I was able to make the active highlighting for selected text properly appear but being active or inactive properly determines the current line highlight colour.

But focus can and does and should move back and forth from Saved Searches, Spellcheck Dialog, Find and Replace, and CodeView.

We could force that to match but I like knowing with a quick glance if CodeView is active (has focus) or not.

Thanks for testing and reporting back!
