The text selection will have rounded corners.
I want to work on this issue. Can I contribute?
A PR would be welcome. Thank you
I should add that the commit message field in the source control tab is the only place where I see rounded corners anywhere in the app. It's sharp corners in every other text selection highlight.
Sure.
Hey In which branch should I commit or shall I create a new branch for this?
You'd want to fork the repo and create a new branch. I'm not sure what we want to do here, what it happens to be is where we use monaco editor widgets (which it seems source control uses too) then we have rounded corners. Normal textboxes have sharp corners. I don't know if we want to try round our normal text boxes or sharpen the monaco editor widget. cc
As a user, I would like to see the rounded corners everywhere. It's prettier that way. I'm not aware of the performance costs though. In the end it's only a very minor inconvenience.
One could argue that rounded selection corners aren't standard.

I just went around to a bunch of difference apps (even those that love to use rounded UIs in buttons and other places) and did not see rounded text selection present
Input text selection backgrounds should not have rounded corners. To me this is clearly some unintentional CSS bug.
Not sure why this is showing up only in SCM as it's using monaco under the hood just like the extensions and settings inputs but those aren't rounded. Selection is rounded because it's done inside the editor: <img width="244" alt="CleanShot 2022-08-30 at 12 39 21 src="https://user-"An easy fix would be to remove the border radius in the scm monaco input via something like
Is there a reason selection is rounded within the editor when selection in most places is normally not rounded?
Hazarding a guess I'd say it's at least in some part an aesthetic choice in an editor selection context. It looks nice to me, in any case. Have a PR up at since I can't see this repro in any other input other than the SCM view.
