Chain browser not showing which attack is selected

In the browser for what attacks chain to each other (in the attack editor in custom.exe) there is no visual indication of what attack is currently selected. This is using a nightly:

20100525 gfx_sdl+directx+fb music_native

I feel like this was not always the case...

msw, are you still seeing this problem? The chain browser looks okay to me.

Yes, the atk chain editor still gives no indication which attack is selected. I don't think I've seen it work correctly since my last post. Just looked at it using:

20101001 gfx_sdl+directx+fb music_native
Windows 7
no info in c_debug

Ah, I figured out what the confusion is. The Chain Browser uses boxes of style 0. It indicates the selected attack by drawing its box with its normal border, and unselected boxes are drawn without their normal borders. If your textbox style doesn't have a border at all, then these are indistinguishable.

So, maybe also switch the box style for the selected box? Even there, there's no guarantee that box styles 1 and 2 are different colours! It drives me mad that we can't just use fixed colours in Custom.
