accord	Posted - Sep 22 2014 : 7:52:54 PM Just to rule out that Visual Assist is coloring the macro, what happens if you disable Visual Assist temporarily? VASSISTX -> Enable/Disable Visual Assist X Does this make any difference? If the macro coloring disappears, it means a probable Visual Assist issue.
accord	Posted - Sep 11 2014 : 6:10:07 PM Visual Assist can color Classes, Variables, Macros and Methods, but not comments. Comments are colored by Visual Studio and controlled by the below option: Tools -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Comment I believe this bug is not a Visual Assist issue.
