causes the editor text to appear washed out. (VS2010 Ultimate RTM)

That was actually intentional, because if I didn't draw it in front of the text, it wouldn't show correctly if I had other elements with a different background color.

hmmm. I see what you mean. But logically, according to the order of importance lesser-to-greater, the current line extends beyond any other elements, so it logically makes sense that the current line highlight can appear behind them. Rather than making the line of text that I'm currently typing harder to see. ;)

Maybe so, but it would still look way ugly :) Anyway, code is there if you want to build a version that does it differently.
