White background hides quoted code blocks

[Bonjour123]

Observed vs. expected behavior

In webstorm, I get annoying background when using these code quotes: "`".
They overlap the quotes and appear only in asciidoc editor. It seems I can't control neither the color nor the behavior in the intelliJ settings .
I get this issue for any theme and color scheme combination.
Modifying the asciidoc color scheme entries and setting a black background doesn't help, as after a few milliseconds after each keypress, the white background appears again.
So I think this behavior is neither derived from a theme nor a color scheme, I think it's shipped within the plugin.

The problem is that when using a dark color scheme, the background color becomes almost white, and I can't see the text.
As a workaround, I can modify asciidoc color scheme and set the foreground text to black.

But then:

1. I still get some unreadable text (depends on the color scheme settings, since this whitish background is not from the color scheme).
2. My editor is full of big white rectangles that really are not helpful highlighting, as code-wrapped text is not that important
3. All the white rectangles flicker at every single key press

Steps to reproduce

Any adoc containing code quotes "`" works.

Shows the unreadable and flickery rectangles as well as the color scheme where no background is set

Thank you for reporting this. I managed to reproduce something similar to your video when I used a light theme with the VibraInk Editor theme. Did you consider a "Dark" theme when using the "VirbraInk" Editor color theme?

Here's the screenshot of the settings I have tested when I didn't have problems in the editor:

Can you please share your settings in that dialog "Appearance & Behavior" -> "Appearance"?

Yes, I actually shifted to the Dark theme from the Light one. No problems with the dark themes, but only with the light ones.
->Just re-read my issue, I actually thought that it was working well with dark themes, so don't know why I wrote I get this issue for any theme and color scheme combination.... maybe I forgot to save the edits..

Unfortunately I had to reinstall my os for another unrelated problem, so I currently have default settings in Webstorm.

I found that the AsciIDoc plugin picked the background color or the light theme where it should have picked the color of the dark theme as some function was looking for the theme of the IDE and not the editor.

This will be fixed in the next release of the plugin, and I'll post a note here once a preview version is available.

In the meantime, when using a dark theme for the editor, use it with a dark theme of the IDE.
