What issue do you have?
I use that CodeMirror 6 "extra" option to hide a subset of the Markdown syntax on inactive lines. This is a great new feature that brings Joplin closer to Typora and the like by allowing a single pane to act as both the editor and reader.
The problem, however, is that either the first line or some other line will be marked active when switching between notes. Because it's active (even though you can't type into it if you come from the notes list!) all of the syntax will show.
Worse still is that it's not even predictable. Much of the time it's the first line that's active but sometimes it ain't. It seems like Joplin is trying to remember the last line edited and focusing it, but I don't want that nor is it useful in most cases, IMO. Unless you've very recently updated a note, what's the benefit of having any particular line marked as active? I just switched to a note I haven't touched in three years and found the third line active. Meanwhile things I edited earlier today are either showing the first line or one I definitely didn't touch today as active.
It's just inconsistent and gross since it shows all the syntax. Is there a way I can turn this off? I feel like I've looked over the options page half a dozen times looking for ones I might've missed to no avail. The screenshot below shows it highlighting the last-edited line in this case, but I'm sure if this line were off the screen on load it wouldn't be the active one. I want no lines marked as active or at least always the first line so there's some consistency.
Yes, justified text is weird but I'm trying it out. It's generally fine since link markup is hidden with my current settings, but now you can see just how gross it can be to have random lines considered active. D:
