Description quesada 2010-08-15 20:58:57 UTC

OS:                Linux

python syntax doesn't work well with a dark theme, the normal type has a white background even if users unsets it.
It makes dark skins impossible. I can imagine this is a problem with python parsing and syntax files. It must have gone undetected because the default skin is already white.
It can crash kate if one tries to alter the background (python only!)

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1 use the kate colors here: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/SuSE/2010-01/msg00631.html
2 open a python file. See how some parts have white background.
3 open settings > fonts and colors > highlighting text styles 
4 try to alter or unset the white background for the 'normal' color. it may look like it did change, but nothing happens on python files.

Actual Results:  
Some python file parts have white background.

Expected Results:  
all normal text has background as determined on the colors settings

That the colors are miss-fitting is a problem like in Bug 160529.
That you can't reset the background is Bug 143399
