After upgrade to 1721, I notice now that the highlight matching braces feature is broken. I have a black text background and when it highlights the matching brace or parenthesis, it uses the color black instead of the color I chose. So they become invisible to me.

This is broken so I had to turn it off in this build.

more changes for case=12710 are in build 1727

We thought this was fixed in build 1722 but still had reports from other users about similar problems in build 1723. Maybe it is finally fixed in build 1724...

We've got a fix for this problem and it will be in the general release.

I should add that the reason this occurred is that in 1720, you can now control both foreground and background colors for the VA brace matching via the VS options dialog.

hmm - that makes it even more mysterious then. I've reopened case=12710 for this.

Nope.. same account
sean Posted - Mar 26 2009 : 6:13:26 PM
Yeah, it's a bug somewhere...

I think the incorrect colors were used because the VS font cache was bad. We need to work around the VS cache problem somehow.

Do you operate VS under a different user account than the one that installed VA?

Ahhh. that did the trick. Once those colors showed up in the dialog, I noticed that the brace match was both set to black. Changed the foreground to something more reasonable and now it's working. Is this a bug somewhere, though?

thanks!

Do these steps help?

Exit all instances of VS2005
Delete this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \\ Software \\ Microsoft \\ VisualStudio \\ 8.0 \\ FontAndColors \\ Cache \
Now load the IDE, and this item should now be listed when you go into the IDE's options dialog.

Well I can't find any option for "VA X Brace Matching" anywhere. But when I change the background color, the parens and braces are "highlighted" with black still
Mindcrime Posted - Mar 26 2009 : 5:50:44 PM
This is with VS2005. I'll try what you suggest. thanks

Which IDE are you using?

If you are using VS2002 or above does changing the colour "VA X Brace Matching" in the IDE Options dialog make any difference?
What about changing the background colour in the IDE options dialog?
