"Highlight current line" option doesn't work for the default Classic and Tango themes

[GAkHEdgmrQ]

Using a fresh install of 13.04 with latest updates on a Thinkpad T410.

stevepdp@glitch:~$ apt-cache policy gedit

I've attached a screenshot demonstrating the feature not working with the default Classic theme. It gives the false impression that the current-line feature doesn't work, where infact it does if a configuration like,

<style name="current-line" background="#EEF6FF"/>

is written to /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles/classic.xml

This also effects the Tango theme.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

https://launchpad.net/~adconrad closed bug 981289 with the request that if the behavior reoccurred to file a new bug and to tag it as a regression-update (which I don't know how to do).
