Oh, thank you for the fast reply,

ok, the argumentation of seeing the active focus sounds
indeed reasonable.
I mean, it's not an important thing,
but would it be a solution to add a setting, where one
can choose *a color* or *no color/use theme default* ?
Because there are indeed Qt-Themes (e.g. the oxygen theme),
which actually do highlight the active focus quite good.

Would be nice, if once, one of you folks could find the time
to do that....

Sorry for declaring this as a bug, i simply didn't realise....

Best regards,
