Syntax highlighting Advanced Preference in 2.4.10 no longer works

Just updated to 2.4.10. Was using GitHub for Default style but had Syntax Highlighting set to something dark so code blocks would stand out more. Syntax highlighting is checked in Preferences > Style > Advanced > Syntax highlighting. Selecting any css file and clicking the Apply button makes no different in the markdown preview of a .md file containing several codeblocks.

   I think there may have been an issue porting your preferences to the
   new, non-sandboxed version. If you could, please quit Marked, delete the
   file at ~/Library/Preferences/com.brettterpstra.marked2.plist and try
   re-launching. A reboot may be required to flush the preference cache, so
   if nothing changes, try deleting again and restarting your machine
   before relaunching Marked.

   If that doesn't fix the issue, please let me know.

   Thanks,
   Brett

   - deleted the plist specified, no change in ability to designate
      alternate syntax highlighting.
      - deleted plist specified, quit Marked 2, restarted, no change in
      ability to designate alternate syntax highlighting

   anything else I can try or provide to you to help debug?

   Just to clarify, did you quit Marked _before_ deleting and restarting?

   This is my iPhone. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

   Brett,

   Yes I quit Marked _before_ deleting and restarting.
   But I just did it all again to make sure and still no joy with Syntax
   Highlighting.

   I was starting to think there was something whacked on my machine.

   I remembered that I hadn't updated Marked on my laptop. It is running 2.4.9
   and the syntax highlighting works fine.
   I renamed Marked 2 on my MacPro from "Marked 2" to "Marked 2.4.10". I
   zipped, copied, and unzipped 2.4.9 in Applications folder to my MacPro.
   Now on the MacPro, Marked 2.4.9 syntax highlighting works fine while Marked
   2.4.10 does not perform Syntax Highlighting.

   2.4.10

   2.4.9 using the same markdown file, same Preference settings

   I'm still believing there's an issue with the main preferences system.
   The difference between 2.4.9 and 2.4.10 for direct sale customers is
   that 2.4.10 removes the OS X security feature, sandboxing. Thus, it
   stores the preferences in a new location outside of the sandbox.

   To verify that this is the issue, please open a preview window and type
   control-option-I. Pressing escape once should focus the input field at
   the bottom of the console. Enter this (paste it in):

   Marked.config.inspect();

   Let me know what you see.

   Thanks,
   Brett
