I've installed 2.5.1 on my MacBook this morning and have found a change in behaviour.

Usually, when entering the first tag of a pair, say <p>, Sigil immediately shows a pink warning message at the top of the Preview pane and this disappears as soon as the closing tag is inserted. This does not appear to happen.

Actually, if I scroll to the top of the Preview, the warning has been generated and is there. But it does not get focus so the user is unaware of any error.

I imagine this is an unanticipated change?

I'll check my linux box later when I've a bit of time.

Edit: It's the same behaviour on the 2.5.1 linux appimage and on Windows.
