Spyder Ctrl+F, highlighting color - spyder

I am using spyder 5.3.3.
In the previous version, when I search a word using Ctrl+F, I can highlight it with a bright color.
However, in this version it seems not.
How can I activate it?
I search for the text-highlighting settings, but it doesn't help.

Why is my Octave GUI editor so buggy? How can I fix it?

The editor for the GUI is a complete mess. When I create a brand new script, the spacing and font are relatively ok.
However, if I open any existing function, it is shown with way too much space between lines, and spaces and tabs show way more space than they should. An example is shown below:
I tried selecting the Edit - Preferences - General - Use custom file editor options, and chose "notepad++ -n%l %f. I have notepad++ installed already on my computer.
When I selected this option and clicked ok, the Octave GUI crashed. When I tried to reopen a file now, I get the error "could not start custom file editor".
If I change the font, it temporarily fixes the issue. But none of the changes persist. Often clicking OK crashes octave. And any time it's reopened, the fonts revert to default, and the spacing problems returns.
How can I make the editor show an appropriate leading and space width?
I would also like to be able to further customize, if possible. For example I'd like it to use a dark theme. But for now just showing a reasonable space between lines would make this at least useable.
I'm using Windows 10, Octave version 6.4.0

Visual Studio Find/Replace Current selection color change?

In Visual Studio I can go to Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors and can have search results highlighted by changing Find Match Highlight.
When doing find/replace, the current row that will have the replace applied, is very near the same colour as every other find result. Which makes it difficult for me to see what line I'm on.
Is it possible to modify the foreground and/or background of the currently "selected"/active row when doing Find/Replace independent of the "Find Match Highlight" colour?
"Find Scope Highlight" doesn't seem to do this, because on my system that is set to black and my Find Highlighting is Red and the current Find row is a slightly different shade of red.
To change the color for background of the selected line from a find in Visual Studio, go to Tools -> Options -> Fonts and Colors -> Highlight Current Line and change the Item background.

How to disable green highlight in Spyder

does anybody knows how to disable the green highlight in Spyder editor as I show in the picture below?
Thanks
Spyder has many settings which the user can change.
In Preferences>Tools>Appearance>Edit Selected Scheme we can select the colors of several highlights, including current cell. (followed by OK then Apply, which can take a few seconds, then OK).
Setting this to #19232d (which seems to be the color of the overall dark theme background) at least gives the appearance of highlighting having been stopped.
There seems to be no way of setting such a color to transparent (in the CSS sense).
Under Tools>Preferences>Editor it seems as though we can unset highlighting of the current cell, but this appears to get overwritten by the Highlight Occurrences after selection, and setting that to something huge in the hopes it would not kick in did not seem to work.
However, I do not claim to be a Spyder expert and would welcome feedback from those who are and who perhaps know of ways of stopping highlighting in certain areas completely.
(Spyder maintainer here) This is caused by a bug in our code. It'll be fixed in our 4.2.0 version, to be released in November 2020.
In the meantime, the solution is to reactivate the option Highlight current line, present in the menu Tools > Preferences > Editor > Display.

How to configure spyder 4 to behave like spyder 3

I just installed spyder 4.0.1 and am overwhelmed by all the bells and whistles. Which settings should I change/uncheck in order to get back to spyder 3 default behaviour?
Two most pressing problems are with the auto-complete (using TAB) in the editor:
The first item is black on dark blue and therefore illegible. Can I adjust that?
There are way too many irrelevant suggestions. Can I adjust that?
(Python/anaconda/win7 in case it makes a difference.)
(Spyder maintainer here) My answers:
The first item is black on dark blue and therefore illegible. Can I adjust that?
No, but that dark blue color comes from the Windows classic theme, which is really ugly. In the normal Windows 10 theme things look as expected:
There are way too many irrelevant suggestions. Can I adjust that?
Yes. Please see my answer about that: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59724907/438386

How to change the text input cursor color in Cordova IOS project

I'm trying to change the text input cursor color in Cordova based mobile application on IOS 9.
Since the background is blue, cursor is almost invisible.
I have tried almost everything I could find but nothing seems to be working. I found the same question asked here
How to change the textfield cursor colour in Cordova iOS project
However none of the solutions on this page work.
I also tried solution on this page
https://gist.github.com/JoeKeikun/72718f5faaf518304024
This also does not work.
Any help will be appreciated, also if someone can confirm if it's due to a bug/feature related to IOS that would also be helpful.
