[Eric] problems with Eric 6 editor

[David Beck]

Thanks, Detlev. I have recently installed Eric on a Powerbook (also running OS 10.11) and there is no flashing in the editor there (??). just on my iMacs. Very strange indeed.

Both thing cannot be changed by me. What I realized as well (and again only on Mac OS X) is, that the configuration window disappears behind the main eric window, when the color or font picker dialog is closed. This is not related to eric (at least I have no idea what could cause such a weird behavior).

I wondered if it might have to do with the Editor > Style > Colours preferences, but I can’t alter those (pressing “Okay” on the OS colour picker causes the preferences window to close). Otherwise, everything functions okay. But the flashing black highlighting is really annoying.
