Details

Highlighting in an add-on's preferences page doesn't work. STR: 1. Install an add-on with preferences (e.g., VimFx) 2. Go to "preferences" for that add-on 3. Try to highlight text from the info pane Expected: Can highlight text Actual: Can't highlight text (e.g., links to external pages, github project)
This is pretty normal for UI text, but I can see why this is wanted. I suspect we only allow plain text here, I wonder if there's an existing bug on allowing some limited/filtered HTML or markdown.
