# Objective Fixes #58736 Pause the debugger on a breakpoint, switch your theme, and the active debug line keeps its old highlight color until you step again or restart Zed. ## Solution The highlight stores a concrete color grabbed from the theme back when `go_to_active_debug_line` ran. A theme switch goes through `theme_changed`, which refreshes brackets, semantic tokens, and outline symbols but never re-applies that highlight, so it stays stale. Re-running `go_to_active_debug_line` from `theme_changed` re-resolves the color against the current theme. ## Testing Added a regression test in `debugger_ui` that stops at a debug line, swaps the theme's `editor.debugger_active_line.background`, and checks the highlight follows. It fails on `main` and passes with the fix. Also tested by hand on Windows: started a debugpy session, paused at a breakpoint, switched themes from the theme selector, and watched the active line recolor live without stepping or restarting. ## Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [ ] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable ## Showcase Paused at a breakpoint, switching themes from the theme selector. | Before | After | | --- | --- | | https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/653a7e1b-3a99-4316-b1c9-b16ed7a7a8ba | https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/22a4c876-30f2-44c5-aad9-0f860639074c | --- Release Notes: - Fixed the active debug line color not updating when switching themes while the debugger is paused ([#58736](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/58736)). --------- Co-authored-by: dino <dinojoaocosta@gmail.com>
