Don't highlight left margin when selecting text

A minor aesthetic suggestion.  I like the margin of whitespace to the left of the code.  However, it shouldn't be highlighted when I select multiple lines of code.  It makes it seem as though there's a space at the start of the lines that will be copied along with the code.

I agree with stendahl.
I was a bit confused today when it happened to me.

yup, it's ugly and already on the todo list. the problem is that it's a mess to change but the folks on the beta list preferred that it was worth it to put up with because the extra multi-pixel gap on the lefthand side was nice.

anyone who wants to take a look to try their hand at fixing the code can find it in the syntax package:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/processing/processing/app/syntax/
particularly in JEditTextArea and the Painter classes.

awesome.. actually a hack since it's not getting the gutter, but it's way better than the previous state, and i'd rather have a simple hack that does it 90% right than spend longer digging through things to get it perfect. thanks a ton.
