What is up with random hilighting in VC11 for Eclipse (Windows)?

I’ve been using VC11 for Eclipse (Windows) for a couple of months now, and this seemly random highlighting of this is really getting on my nerves.  The image below shows a “simple” example.  It is often much worse.

Here I just put my cursor on the top left and then cursored down some lines.  When my cursor reached line 14 the entire line, plus the first 3 characters of line 15, were suddenly highlighted for seemingly no reason.  Cursoring down again it removed highlight from 14 and highlights 15.  Other examples seem to be even more random.  Is this a known issue or what?  Anything I can do?  The only way to unhighlight is to open the Find box (Cntl-F) and then hit escape.

Hi Frank,

Yes, there does appear to be something going on with the highlighting and it seems to be more noticeable in dark mode. I am looking into this.

Thanks.  I’ll see if light mode works better for me.
