Hi, using java-repl in the course workspace.
The feedback text is grayed out, meaning I can only see it by highlighting. Any way to fix this?

4,270 PointsThank you for your reply Kristi, appreciate it.
You're right, its definitely error related.
The trouble is, I sometimes need to see the grayed out text to see where I'm going wrong and work out where to fix it, but its unreadable. Just wondering really if I might have some settings wrong, if it might be my browser (I'm using Chrome) or something?

I'll tag Craig Dennis here to see if this is something that could possibly be fixed in the future.
In the meantime, I recommend you highlight the text so that you can read it. If even then it's hard to read, copy it into a text editor :)

10,665 PointsHi Edith,
I get grayed out text too when there's an error in the code I've typed into the REPL. I check for syntax errors and double check that what I'm entering is similar to or matches the code snippet Craig is entering after the java> prompt.
