Is it possible to turn off highlighted text

When I click within a tag, the text up to the closing tag becomes highlighted:

I do not find this helpful at all, it's very distracting and I loose all of my code highlighting, is there anyway to disable the feature?

    Use the Token Inspector and change the value in the Less file as per Learn how you can customize the colors of your code elements in Dreamweaver.

    So I have added the following to the bottom of my less file. I can now change the background colour but changing colour has no affect the text is always white.

    /* Custom code colors or overrides should start after this line */

    .CodeMirror-matchingtag {

      color: #F93033;

      background: green;

    }

    This is a truly terrible feature of Dreamweaver, those of you who agree should vote here:

    Adobe are pushing out 2 new code color Themes for CC 2017.0.1 -- Raven & Solarized which should address this issue.

    In the meantime, you can customize your code colors by editing the LESS file. See link below for details.

    Solution: White on Mint Green Code Color.

    Wooooah 2! Meanwhile back in the unpaid world Brackets has about 152 themes. Not good enough me thinks. Start working on re-instating an optional user inteface where users can easily update their own colors, not some half assed solution - open up a json file and dig around in that. Its not going to happen but hey I can do a shout out for all those that want it to happen and for a top of the range paid-for product it should happen.

    One may think I'm being negative about DW but come on guys, you charge money for this program so give the users the options that other paid for products have. Personally in hindsight I don't believe the Brackets editor has bought that much to the table in DW. Take away the 3rd party plugins  and youre left with a quick css editor which is neither here or there and a couple of poor color schemes.....humm.
