Thank you for this very welcome comment. At alucare.fr, we really try to make our guides as comprehensive as possible, and I've encountered this bug myself ^^ I had to figure out how to fix it, and here's the guide 🙂
Aaaaah thank you, I've been looking for ages!

Thanks for sharing this tip.
Super thanks, I've been looking for an hour too 😉
And the light was on!

Wow! I'm really glad I stumbled upon this tutorial.
Hello, thank you for your walkthrough, which was very helpful.
Another method that I would like to share here is to hover the mouse cursor over one of the characters surrounded by yellow, whereupon a tooltip appears with a clickable “Adjust settings” option.
All you have to do is select the option: “Disable highlighting of non-basic ASCII characters” and you're done.
Kisses.
Thank you for the other method.
