Just a heads up: On March 24, 2025, starting at 4:30pm CDT / 19:30 UTC, the site will be undergoing scheduled maintenance for a few hours. During this time, the site might be unavailable for a short while. Thanks for your patience.
×Hello Atlassian Community,
wherever my own, currently logged in user is mentioned on a Confluence page, the @username will be displayed with a blue background, whereas every other name is shown in the default grey.
However, when I switch into edit mode, this distinction gets lost (the <a> element loses the class "current-user-link"), making it harder to find my own mentions and tasks on a long page.
Is there a way to get the current-user mention highlighted consistently in both modes?

Thank you Stephen for the suggestion!
But I've found out how to change the behaivor to exactly how I want it:
I've simply added these lines to the global stylesheet (<confluence>/admin/editstylesheet.action):
#tinymce.wiki-content a.user-mention.current-user-mention {
background-color: #0052CC;
color: #FFFFFF !important ;
}
Note: we're using Confluence 6.15 and this class name may change in the future. But I'm happy for now :)
Cheers,
Raphael

Hi @Raphael R
Not that I know of.
A simple alternative is to just use find on your web browser - usually activated by Ctrl+F / Cmd+F - to search for and highlight your username in edit mode.
Sometimes this utilises the Confluence finder - to utilise the browser version, you can usually click on the browser's bookmarks / navigation bar then use the keyboard shortcut above.
