I agree. I like that too and whenever an editor has an option to  
highlight the current line, I turn that option on.

It is indeed standard Cocoa textsystem behaviour.

But in these editors: TextMate, BBEdit, TextWrangler the behaviour is  
exactly as you wish.
In Smultron however the standard Cocoa Text system method prevails.
It's likely that one can't change that specific behaviour and keep  
using the Cocoa text system.

I guess that it would be quite a lot of work to change the standard  
behaviour.
