I can't reproduce the gray text part.

The zooming is intentional (I guess to show what you've changed), although that doesn't mean it's a good idea.

@Devs, opinions on the zooming?

Yeah, I prefer to skip the zoom out at the end too.

The grey text is caused by it being highlighted. We use the system colors, so this is likely the result of the color scheme chosen. @Martin, can you select a different highlight setting in your system configuration panel and see if that helps?

I'll take that as a +1 from Seth and me. I'll give it another day or two before making the change....

I played with that a bit, and it doesn't feel right. If I highlight a net, go to the track tool and then hit <esc> I expect to cancel the track tool but it also cancels the net highlighting. I think we only want to clear the net highlighting when there's nothing else left to clear.
