Refresh highlight path color in tree and tab color

If option Use color from tab is enable for highlight path, color is not updated automatically in tree.

It's even worse. Highlight path doesn't work most of the time. Sometimes I see a 'normal' colored path and sometimes I see different paths in de colors of the tabs. But when I switch panes all paths are gone and don't re-appear at all. Not until I hover with the mouse over the folder tree.
Occasionally the path becomes or remains visible but I don't know what triggers it.
Disabling the option Use color from tab makes no difference in this behaviour.

Turn off Preferences / Folder Tree / Appearance / Only highlight paths when tree is active.

Ah, that was easy. But it looks like this setting was changed during the upgrade to DO12. Or is this a new setting in DO12. Highlighting was always on in DO11. Anyway, "problem" solved.

It's an old setting. I don't think it should be changed during upgrade. (It definitely wasn't changed here.) Maybe you turned it on while exploring the new settings?
