6 years ago Hi @BouncingBison , thanks for your comment with the clear description and screenshot. Screenshot always help me understand things quicker!
As for the behaviour you observed, it is actually meant to be that way, and there is a test case confirming it. Once it used all highlightColors, it starts using DEFAULT_COLOUR (i.e. gray) for all the subsequent highlights, as it doesn't know what colours to use otherwise.
What we can do to avoid this confusion could be to mention this thing on the textmarker.highlightColors's description. What do you think?

When I specify this setting to use only one color (such as dark blue) the highlighter will be dark blue on the first item i highlight within a file. however when i highlight a second item instead of the dark blue that i have in my settings, i instead get a light gray highlight on all other items i choose in the file. If i remove all highlights within the file and begin highlighting again the problem will repeat itself. Ive included some screen shots to show the color selections in settings and in action within the files.
