In the above screenshot, it can be seen that Emacs highlights the whitespace between parentheses, unless I move my cursor one place to either side.
I have smartparens enabled in my emacs config, but even if I disable them, this problem still persists. I also don't have whitespace-mode enabled.
Any idea what may be causing this?
The relevant part of my config:
(require 'smartparens-config)
(smartparens-global-mode t)
(show-smartparens-global-mode t)
Thanks.
Unfortunately the solution given by Ignacy Moryc, didn't help me, but this one helped:
(setq sp-highlight-pair-overlay nil)
