Why Does Text Highlighting Not Appear When Inserting Links In SoCast Engage Or AMP CMS?

When using SoCast Engage or AMP CMS with the Gutenberg editor, you may notice that the usual blue highlighting does not appear when selecting text to insert a link. This is due to a change in the Gutenberg editor and recent updates to Chromium-based browsers (such as Chrome, Edge, and Brave), which override the styles that previously indicated highlighted text. As a result, the selection appears transparent, but the functionality to insert links remains intact.

To insert a link:

  1. Highlight the desired text (even if you do not see the blue highlight).
  2. Press Ctrl + K (Windows) or Cmd + K (Mac) to open the link dialog.
  3. Enter the URL and press Enter.

If you prefer to see the text selection more clearly, consider using a non-Chromium browser such as Mozilla Firefox (Windows) or Safari (Mac), where this issue does not occur.

Note: The lack of visible highlighting is not a bug, but a result of browser and editor updates. The ability to insert links is unaffected.
