Description Joseph Ryan 2014-03-03 01:09:36 UTC 
When you select a word, Kate highlights every instance of that word. You are able to change the background color of this highlight (currently red in my picture), but the foreground color (which is white) is hardcoded. I would like the option to change the foreground color. This would make Kate more friendly to dark color schemes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a word that appears more than once
2. Observe the font color of the highlight

This was just fixed with this commit: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/127554/

The background color of the search & replace highlights can be configured in the first tab in the "Fonts & Colors" config page. The foreground color now is always set to to the normal text color. So good contrast needs to be given only for this search & replace background color with the default text foreground color.

Sorry for the delay.
