The recently introduced background for the tags that highlight added and removed text takes precedence over the background color of the selection. But selected text is more important than the highlighted text. Make the highlighting tags the lowest priority. The same argument holds for the file separator and the highlight of search results. Therefore, make them also low-priority. But search results are a bit more important; therefore, keep them above the other tags. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@xxxxxxxx> --- Here is an update for my earlier patch as I found that the file separator also overrides the selection. This fixes it. 1: 7c4c862 ! 1: 3a0e64c gitk: Un-hide selection in added and removed text and search results @@ Metadata Author: Johannes Sixt <j6t@xxxxxxxx> ## Commit message ## - gitk: Un-hide selection in added and removed text and search results + gitk: Un-hide selection in areas with non-default background color The recently introduced background for the tags that highlight added and removed text takes precedence over the background color of the selection.
