It is very hard to distinguish between the highlighted part of the text, and the selected part of it #158

Description

@Kiarokh

For example, when you click on a dash-separated property in a SCSS, it is entirely highlighted. Now you can double click on a word or drag-click to select a part of it. The selected part gets a less transparent color. But due to lack of contrast, it is still very hard to distinguish, which part of the text is actually selected (within the highlighted region).

Sample code

.class {
    justify-content: flex-end;
}

Filename and Language selected

This is a problem with all languages.

Selection and highlighting works slightly differently in Atom. So no point with providing any screen shot.
