Dreamweaver highlighting when I insert cursor

Question

When I'm editing in code view and I want to add something, I click my mouse where I want to add something. At this point nothing should be highlighted since I haven't dragged over anything but Dreamweaver highlights the whole line or more. It's really distracting. I only want things highlighted when I drag my curson over something, not when I insert the cursor into an empty spot to add something. Is there some easy way to stop this? I'm using CC 2019 but I've had the same problem with earlier versions.

Thanks,

Liz

Changing the color of the highlight is nice but it's not what I asked for help with. I do not want it to highlight entire tags when I inset my cursor to change text within a tag. I do want a highlight color when I'm dragging within a tag or outside of a tag but I only want exactly what I've dragged over to be highlighted. That was and still is my original question.

I did not realise that each theme had a different document and line numbering. The important thing is to change the colouring of the '.CodeMirror-matchingbracket, .CodeMirror-matchingtag' identifyer. For the Light theme, this is line #334.
