Just upgraded to PS 4.1. Still no highlight current line option

The feature is still on our "wish list." However, the feature list for 4.1 was determined quite some time ago, and this is a comparatively new request. We appreciate your patience.

This is implemented in 4.1.532.

Just checked this out. It is behaving in an unexpected manner for me.When I click on a line number (to highlight the line of code), the line is highlighted (white text/black background), but the _next_ line is highlighted using the highlight color scheme.In essense, both lines are highlighted, but in two different colors. I see that the cursor is placed at the beginning of the 2nd line.

Could be a bug. I'll check it out

Here is a screenshot. Note that I changed the highlight color to light red/pink (away from the default orange). To accomplish this appearance I clicked on"18" for line 18.

Well, *technically* it is correctly highlighting the line with the caret.
But I understand how that looks really wrong, so I added code to disable the current line highlight WHILE a text selection exists.

And you'll probably get some complaints about that change

Thanks Alex!

That's right. Most other apps which highlight current line work this way. I would be happy with it either way.
