a file which triggers wrong behavior

I have "Show text preview on scrollbar" option on.

Open the attached file (a Perl script which does nothing).

When the cursor is before the first character of the first line the file, the text preview at the scroll bar is displayed correctly. (I will attach an image.)

But if we move the cursor to the position of the opening brace at the first line of the file, I have the text between the braces highlighted, but the scrollbar does not show the text preview for the highlighted text fragment anymore. (I will attach a screenshot.)

So the text preview in scrollbar is buggy.

Kate 16.08.3

Victor can you please confirm if this is still an issue on kate, thanks.

We'll, it's still correct: the sidebar also paints the highlighted background of the bracket matching. Since the braces span the entire document, the entire minimap has a light green background.

Closing as not a bug.
