Sublime Text 4 light scheme autocompletion menu list hard to read

#1

I have been struggling getting to see the autocompletion menu item selected. Things are really hard to see after sublime 3 to 4 upgrade. The Adaptive theme is OK as are the dark themes, but I couldn’t find a dark colour scheme I liked that wasn’t garish or too different in colours to know what code was what. The Adaptive theme loss of menus was too hard to work with.

Eventually I managed to see why by running a comparison between the adaptive and light theme.

There is a typo in the default.sublime-theme that makes the selected autocomplete menu hard to see the active menu item. Either it is on line 1424 where
“layer0.opacity”: “var(auto_complete_selected_row_light_tint)”
or line 1418 where
“layer0.tint”: “var(auto_complete_selected_row_dark_tint)”
Either way, it should be
“layer0.tint”: “var(auto_complete_selected_row_light_tint)”
This can be fixed for the user under preferences -> Customize Theme under the rules add:
{
“class”: “table_row”,
“parents”: [{“class”: “auto_complete”, “attributes”: [“file_light”]}],
“attributes”: [“selected”],
“layer0.tint”: “var(auto_complete_selected_row_light_tint)”
},

I have raised a bug on this. This is for anyone else who has been struggling with the change.

Also, there is a change to the trailing line ending removal on save. It is listed in the change descriptions but the following is required in the user’s Preferences.sublime-settings :
“trim_only_modified_white_space”: false,
