Selecting text from code boxes in forum posts

Tom — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 17:37:26 GMT

It is very hard to see what text I have selected to copy when selecting text from a SAS Code box in a post.

Did something change in the CSS for the forum? Or did I just never notice before?

Hi Tom -- we did recently (hours ago) change some things to update styles for SAS code, and add support for other programming content that SAS customers use (Python, R, Go, JSON, etc).

I modeled the style updates after StackOverflow (popular among some of our visitors) -- but didn't realize the highlight indicator would be a problem. I'll investigate.

And I apparently can't tell if I have anything selected at all.

I think I've fixed this for now. More changes coming, but I'll be careful to not regress on this part 😉
