SyntaxView.drawSelectedText calls super.drawUnselectedText

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use jsyntaxpane in a JEditorPane
2. Call setSelectedTextColor() on the JEditorPane
3. Type some text
4. Select it

What is the expected output?
A piece of text with the selected text color.

What do you see instead?
A piece of text with the unselected text color.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.4 on Mac OS X, but the same code seems to be used in trunk:

ne/SyntaxView.java#142

That's actually a feature, not a bug ;-)
My personal preference is to have selection highlight the background only, and 
keep the syntax aware foreground colors.  So the method draw selected text 
calls draw of the unselected text but just highlights the background first.
For the normal single color selection, you need to configure the property 
"SingleColorSelect" in one of the config files.  
If that property is true (default is false), then normal single color selection 
will be used.
But as you rightfully say, there is a bug and it will be fixed very soon.

Thanks for your reply. I agree that with the highlighting on, you probably want 
the drawUnselectedText.
With highlighting off (e.g., SingleColorSelect=true) I'd prefer 
drawSelectedText, it's up to the developer to pick the right color then.

This should be fixed in branch 0.9.6 r144 now.
