I am unable to edit /etc/fstab.
The problem is that when I choose to add or edit a line, it is highlighted white which makes the text invisible.
How do I remove the highlighter, or change it to an appropriate colour?
Many thanks in advance for your help with this.

Just found solution myself ...
At the top of the fstab window, click the icon immediately to the right of the Save button --> Preferences --> untick Highlight Current Line
Done !

What editor were you trying to use? I tried testing with leafpad and nano on clean BL6 and neither seem to do that. I'm guessing it is a theme related issue. What application theme (gtk-theme) are you using?

hmmmm either you fixed it in the last 11 minutes, or I can't replicate that geany either. No worries, I see this is marked as solved anyway, I just was curious.
