Summary:
When using a font and colour theme that has a dark background, the debugger's line highlight does not adapt and as a result the text it's highlighting is difficult to read.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a font and colour theme that has a black or dark background;
2. Set a breakpoint somewhere in your code;
3. Run the project, and trigger the breakpoint.

Expected Results:
The line highlight colour adapts so that whatever is highlighted is still readable.

Actual Results:
The line highlight colour is too light for the light coloured text, and it becomes difficult to read.


Regression:
This seems to have been a problem for at least a few major Xcode releases now.
