[Qgis-user] QGIS 2 master: Identify tool and highlights

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi and thank you for testing, 

I think I found out what the issue is. My geometries contain circular
arcs (WKB Types CompoundCurve or CurvePolygon). Quite likely, the
highlight does not work with this WKB type. 

Using Simple feature geometry types works fine. One more place in QGIS
where Circular Arcs cause troubles ... sigh!  

I'll file a bug report.

If this color is set to 100% Transparent then it would work as if there was no highlight. Other than that I see no other way to turn off the highlight so check there; maybe you accidentally made your highlight transparent. To add to that, white would look like there was no highlight on if the background color was also white, its effect is a very light ghosting of the feature when identified; easily missed.
