So far I cannot reproduce this problem here. I am using Vista, VS2005, VA 1635, and the same font and size.
Which programming language are you working in?
If you copy / paste this line to another file do you see the same problem there?
I am testing with the code:
static void testGeneralCode()
{
float _refFlow;
_refFlow = 2.0e-4; //_refVol*0.1;
}
In a cpp file. Can you copy / paste this function into your project and see if it is displayed correctly?
