Summary

There seems to be a bug with sublime.DRAW_EMPTY_AS_OVERWRITE. It doesn't render with the foreground color like the other region styles do. The bug seems to be introduced some time along with new region re-write and new color scheme support.

I'm filing this as I am beginning to get issues complaining about this behavior in some of my plugins.

Original mention of this in the forum: sublime.DRAW_EMPTY_AS_OVERWRITE

Expected behavior

When using the sublime.DRAW_EMPTY_AS_OVERWRITE style when creating a region, the region should use the same color as other region styles.

Actual behavior

When using sublime.DRAW_EMPTY_AS_OVERWRITE, the region is barely visible and almost matches the background.

Steps to reproduce

1. Draw a region with sublime.DRAW_EMPTY_AS_OVERWRITE. Any other style (like solid) will show the proper color while the overwrite style will not.

Environment

• Operating system and version: Any
