Not a new issue, but "marked line" is not a good description. What this actually controls
is the background color of commit message text found by search criteria in the gui, not
lines of text, and (as far as I can tell) never any text found in the patch text.

Actually, it is the background color of lines found via "Show origin of
this line" in the diff panel.

When reading this code for the first time, I thought it has to do with
the "Mark this commit" in the commit list, but it doesn't.
