I assume Zenburn might be a dark theme. I think that by default (No color theme) Emacs should work as what it did before. But with color themes especially for the dark ones I would not insist on the the region font lock. >> Especially for Eclipse I remembered that when I used it about a decade >> ago copying selected code from Eclipse to other WYSIWYG applications >> like MS PowerPoint the syntax highlight is also copied ie, rich formatted. > > And what do those editors do when the highlight background color is very > similar to one of the font-lock colors? > I am quite happy with Intellij Idea's dark theme (Dracula), I have used it for quite a while and have never seen illegilbe selected text. But I don't know how it does well so I can not provide any useful information here.
