Description
Hi there,
the Highlight words setting stoped working for my user. For a very brief moment after entering words listed in the settings are highlighted. Its working for other user on my PC. Already reinstalled the client. I am using version 3.7.6
Any advice?
Thanks,
Seb

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the per-user failure described for version 3.7.6, comparing the affected user's settings with another user on the same PC, then trace the client behavior for the Highlight words setting. Done means configured words remain highlighted for the affected user rather than disappearing after a brief moment.
