Hi,

On MacOSX Lion, when I enable cell navigation. (From Snippet058CellNavigationIn34 ),
highlighting of non focus, but selected cells is not as expected. In the attached screenshot,
I am selecting multiple cells in column 0. The selection starts at the row named "SCTP".

What I observe:

- The selection is there, as I do get the multiple selected items.
- The highlighting is in background white, only for the text bounds of the cell.
- The foreground seems to be white as well, as the collapse/expand triangle is not visible for the row named "SCTP". (Note: I Use a StyleCellLabelProvider for the label and images).

What I would expect, is the multiple selection to be at least visible, I guess it can't be the same color as the selection of the focused cell, but a reasonable default should be to make clear it's selected.
What I would like, is to keep the default selection color, even for the focus cell, but then have the focus cell draw a dotted line or thicker border around the focus cell.

For the latter, I could implement my own FocusCellOwnerDrawHighlighter and re-implement markFocusedCell.
How do I change the multi-selection highlighting color to non-white?

Thank you,
Christophe Bouhier

There's a bugzilla with a solution for this already but I can't remember
the bugid.

I tried this, but it doesn't really work.
- up and dawn arrow keys are not working.
- selection is the full row, not the selected cell.
