rkalla,
true, this is an Eclipse issue. The feature misteriously came back. I didn’t change any setting. May be there is a bug in the Eclipse itself that I need to post it to let those guys know. I am thankful for you to even attempting to answer and exclusive Eclipse question.
to answer your question, yes, I did have the highlighting of the current line turned on so that I could see the line the crsor was on.
thank you,
Indudhar
