I don't know if you want me to post this for every build, but reparse still doesn't work properly in 1216 (VS2003, unmanaged C++)

E.g. I define a new variable, then rename it immediately (it goes black), then scroll away from that area of the file before VA colours the variable. New references to that new variable will not be coloured. No amount of waiting or reparsing seems to do anything. Scrolling (possibly back to the var definition, but I'm not 100% certain if you need to do that) seems to fix things.

Something similar happens if you un-comment a definition (or a #define) which has been commented out - references elsewhere don't get coloured, and reparse doesn't work.

Personally, I'd much rather you fixed the manual reparse *before* you fixed whatever other minor bugs are stopping the autoparser. I realise that might not by the WT agenda, though.

1216 is definitely starting to get good, though.

I had one instance yesterday where reparse didn't appear to work. It was actually a file that was already open at the time I first launched the solution. None of the identifiers were in identifier colour, and they remained uncoloured when I pressed the reparse button.

However, I noticed that reparse was actually working because a message flashed in the status bar as described by support in the previous thread. And when I selected a block of text with the mouse, that region was then coloured correctly.

Re-reading the previous thread, I suspect this is probably not the same as your problem. And I couldn't reproduce it. But I thought I'd throw it into the mix.

I'm starting to think that this isn't a reparse problem, but a repaint one.

Most of the time I have this type of problem, causing the edit window to redraw (e.g. ALT-TABbing away from VS and back again) is enough to fix it.

Could you make manual reparse do a repaint of the edit window, please?

Hello all,

I have the same feeling as Will about this. I've seen the repainting thing many times. But there's something strange about it. When I ALT-TAB to another full screened application, and I return to Visual Studio, the colours are right. But when I then scroll the page to another location, and than back to the same spot, the colours have changed again.

So it doesn't only seems to be a redrawing problem.

With kind regards,
Patrick Luja

P.S. And I also second Will's opinion that VA X is definitely starting to get good.

This seems much worse in 1218. I now regularly have files opened in my IDE without the advanced syntax coloring happening. I don't know if it's a coloring issue, a painting issue, or a reparse issue.

When the problem happens, does all coloring stop, or just certain symbols defined in the file?

Are you all using VS.NET? East Asian Languages installed? Black backgrounds? Any other clues?

Other Includes:

For me only certain symbols stop coloring properly. I actually had one item (STDMETHODIMP) lose color while I was scrolling, so that the symbol was colored then the the part that had scrolled off lost color leaving part of the symbol colored and part not colored. Losing focus and then switching back fixed the problem. This wasn't exactly a parsing issue (or shouldn't be because STDMETHODIMP is in stable includes).

In my case all advanced coloring stops, I only get the basic VS.NET coloring (e.g. comments are colored, but no members/variables/classes).

VS.NET 2003, default color settings.

I can add a bit more. If I have a file that is colored properly, starting the debugger seems to uncolor it. If I have a file opened that is not colored, starting the debugger will color it properly.
