I just installed VS plugin Codekana to see if I liked its features.
When I restarted VS, it immediately popped up the below message.
I'm not aware of this problem in VAX; is it real or just a claim by the Codekana folk so they don't have to research it?

I recall looking at CodeKana myself a while ago, but I never encountered the colouring problems you are describing here. Nasty.
I look forward to your thoughts on CK and colouring of blocks of code. |

Thanks for the response. I ended up uninstalling CodeKana because there did seem to be a number of conflicts between VAX coloring and that of CK. I ended up with an occasional word that had top half of letters one color and bottom another, or some letters one color and some another, weird things like that.
I like how CK colors BLOCKS of code; that would be a great feature to add to VAX. I'll write something up in the suggestions forum.
Thanks again,
Mark. |

It is possible to confuse VA's parser, by using the same symbol name for two different things. For example a class and a variable, both having the same name, can result in one having the wrong colour sometimes. See "Coloring by Usage" here:

I am not sure why Codekana would make this problem worse, unless there is some form of clash happening though. |
