Thank You Giorgio, I didn't know this. But unfortunately it doesn't work here :-(

I have also tried ^X^M and than entered HILITE also no success :-(

Any other suggestions?

EDIT:

I have now also tried:

<ESC> redraw-display<NL>

Also no success :-( Even worse this enters a new line at the beginning of the buffer/window :-| And sometimes uEmacs crashes my QPC2 :-|

I'm afraid my version is buggy
If your version of Emacs has problems I think the first and most important thing to do is install a new one.
Maybe you are using an old version or perhaps was not installed properly.
The version I have installed about Black Phoenix (all releases) is working properly, you can try them.
If you want I can pass you as a .zip version of Emacs running and see how it behaves on your system.

Let me know

Giorgio

I have now tested MicroEMACS from the Black Phoenix BP111.win distribution, it's the same version and it has the same problem.

What I mean is, if I am searching (^S) the string (e. g. Test) is "hilited" (see Image below).

I am not able to remove this "hilite". One workaround is to put space on the last line, move the cursor before and search for " ", than only this last space is "hilited".

EDIT (Wed 2016 Nov 30):
The current region is also hilited, if you copy it to the scrap via the menu. There it seems also not possible to remove the hilite :-(

I have now found a way to delete such kind of "Highlighting":

Press ESC than spacebar
[Mark set]

DO NOT move the cursor!

Then click on "Regions" in the menu and then on "Copy to scrap"

As this highlights the region, but the region is empty, the highlight is cleared :-)

EDIT:
p.s: "Copy to kill buffer" will also work, and it also works with the keyboard commands:

E.g. ESC-space and afterwards ESC-W (Copy to kill buffer) will also clear the highlight. YOU MUST NOT move the cursor between the two commands!
