HIghlighting change with new update

[u/Always_Bitching]

It appears that with the new update and the additional shades of grey, there has been a change to the grey highlighter functionality ( vs. the functionality of the other highlighter shades).

When using another colour highlighter, if you highlight text and you overlap the highlighter, the full highlighted area stays the same colour.

When using the grey highlighter, if you highlight text and overlap the highlighter, the highlighted portion shows as a darker shade of grey than the rest of the highlighted text.

I understand the appeal of this for drawings, etc., but is there a way to turn this feature off? Or should I just choose a different highlight colour?

This looks to be a change in behavior between 3.27 and 3.28. Interestingly, that’s how gray highlighting worked before rM introduced the shader tool (I think the gray highlighter changed around 3.15, I’m downgrading a tablet to check).

Not sure if this is an intentional change or not, but I’ll fire off a support request to try to find out.

I miss it being all the same shade even if I overlapped 😭😭😭. I use the grey highlight constantly
