Check the video at the Dropbox link.

Setting these options in a Compile section layout isn’t possible.

Trying to figure out why that would be, because it works for me. I can’t even make it do what your video shows.

I’m getting EXACTLY the same problem.  
Everything Right of the Underline option is greyed out, and completely unselectable.

It happens every single time I try and use the compiler. I can change the other options, just not Alignment, Text Colour and Highlight Colour.

Thanks for taking the time to record a video and report this, we’ll get this fixed in next release.

Fixed in RC8 (or sooner?).

Thanks!
