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. |

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. |

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 |

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? |
