    When I search for a word, the first occurrence is highlighted in grey in the preview window while all subsequent words are highlighted in yellow. This makes things difficult to spot if a large file contains only one match.

    For example, searching for "this" in a simple text file shows:

    Hi,

    the first word is shown in gray because it's not only highlighted, but also a selected text range. The gray color probably comes from your system settings. Maybe you can make some adjustments there.

    To remove the gray color, just click into the preview pane to remove the text selection. Alternatively, try opening the preferences dialog and unticking "Automatically scroll to first match in preview pane".

    Thanks, Quang! The preferences setting fixes it.

    Cheers,
