Disable tag background color

Question

When I double click a word in a html tag (editing an aspx file), I get a double background highlighting.

I have selected the word decSearchStartTime, but I also get the tag keyword button selected as well as attributes.

How do I only have the selected word highlit?

If you go to the Tools menu and select "Options" Then under "Environment" -> "Fonts and Colors" it's under "Brace Matching (Rectangle)" in the Display Items list for the Text Editor. Technically you can't turn it "off" but you can have the Item Background color set to the same as your editor's background color which does effectively the same thing.
