Inserting new parens and continuing edit has a blue background throughout

[ashutoshrishi]

I don't know if this is through the theme or I am not setting something properly, but when I insert a new parenthesis (have smartparens mode), and start inserting characters, the blue highlight stays put making text hard to read:

• It is fine if I move my cursor and then edit, the highlight disappears.
• Another theme that I use does not have this problem so I am not sure what emacs settings I need to change.

Thanks!

I have gotten around this atm by:

(setq sp-highlight-pair-overlay nil)
(setq sp-show-pair-from-inside t)

I added a face for sp-pair-overlay-face, which should make the highlight much easier on the eyes. Let me know if it's still a problem.
