Re: Highlited text in a cd fld

Has it always been this way? I am a newcomer to LiveCode. It is easy enough to save/set the hilitedLines when coming and going from another card but to have them highlighted automatically should in my opinion be the normal status and if you want them otherwise you script it. Thanks Terry On
