1384	Whitespace highlighting should be optional	vda	angel_il	"I like a new feature of specially displayed tabs and trailing spaces, but sometimes they are getting in the way. For example, when I want to cut-and-paste with the mouse, I usually do not want it.

Also, inevitably there will be users which actively dislike this feature. It's better for the project if it supports those users too.

The most comprehensive solution would be two-fold:

Add a config option for it in F9->Options->General (takes care of those users who hate whitespace highlighting and want it off by default), and

Add a menu item to F9->Edit to toggle whitespace highlighting temporarily with a key combination.

I am setting it as ""defect"" because technically it is a regression versus 4.6.2: mouse cut-and-paste now is more difficult in some cases."	enhancement	closed	major	4.7.0-pre1	mcedit	master	fixed	editor highlight trailing space tabs					committed-master
