How do I change the color of the line highlight in vscode when using findNext

I have customized my theme in vscode to use the lineHighlight color as follows...

    "editor.lineHighlightBackground": "#3c3c3c",

This change works, with the exception of when I use find next.

If I open the find window, and end a value that matches with multiple lines, and then use the findNext command to cycle through them, there is a line highlight that draws, but it is not using the line highlight that I specified.

I have looked through the vscode theme colors documentation and they only specify the following line highlight values..

editor.lineHighlightBackground: Background color for the highlight of line at the cursor position.
editor.lineHighlightBorder: Background color for the border around the line at the cursor position.

How can I change the color of the line highlight when using find next?

Use:

"editor.rangeHighlightBackground": "#ff0000"

editor.findRangeHighlightBackground: Color the range limiting the search (Enable 'Find in Selection' in the find widget). The color must not be opaque so as not to hide underlying decorations.

It is more specific than a line highlight so it is the one applied. It applies whether the Find in Selection option is enabled or not - not sure why it implies that.
