Highlight Text fill color keeps changing to grey

Post by jonhmbc »

A short while ago my highlight text tool worked fine. Now, while fill color in properties is set at yellow, as soon as I move the cursor over text and click on the mouse, the fill property changes to grey and I can only highlight in grey. I have tried resetting the properties, and I even uninstalled and reinstalled the software with no luck. Any suggestions?

Hello jonhmbc,

Can you please try to reset all the settings in your Editor, and see if that helps. Make sure to back up the current ones before resetting them though.

Regards,
Stefan

Chances are great that the option "Override document colors" has been turned ON, via the Edit-menu > Preferences > Accessibility.
In that case, the highlighter works in grey.

If it should be, then just turn it OFF.

Thanks for the help Willy!

Indeed that is a likely cause!
