Hello all,

I've noticed that the last line of a screen is often (lets say 25% of the times) not coloured. I have my screen set so, that I can see 35 and a half lines on one screen. This half line at the bottom of the screen isn't always coloured (so it stays black). I can't seem to find a pattern in it (yet).

I hope you could take a look at it sometimes.

With kind regards,
Patrick Luja

Hello again,

Maybe it has some link to the way I scroll. I often use the scroll wheel or the autoscroll feature of my mouse to scroll (besides the normal page up and page down actions I do with my keyboard).

For instance if I autoscroll, and the top op the page is displaying a line half and I stop autoscrolling the text will be scrolled automatically in a way that the first line will always display a full line. Although it seems that VA X is handling this well, I just want to ask if VA X does take such automatic scrolling into account (or doesn't it need to)?

Another little effect (apart from the colouring of the last line) I see during autoscrolling is that the column indicator becomes a line instead of dots (probably due to the way this autoscrolling is handeled and the way this indicator is drawn upon it).

Although it's not much, I still hope you can use it.
Thanks in advance.

With kind regards,
Patrick Luja

Hmmm... Topic 2034 may be related, but it's about bold/italic, not coloring, so I wouldn't call this Topic a dupe of that one, necessarily...

However, my Topic 2132 (http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2132) is a dupe of this one. I looked for other posts on this subject beforehand, but, silly me, I searched for the word 'color' instead of 'colour'. I'll go delete it and move it to this topic...

The last line on the screen is suddenly not syntax coloring. If I use the mouse wheel to make it the penultimate () line instead of the last line, then it colors correctly. I never noticed this before... maybe because, weirdly, the only line that I can make do this is the red line in the code below (I posted all this code thinking that maybe syntax would help debugging it):
	CString sString(dsContracts.GetS("contract_nbr"));
	HTREEITEM hti(InsertItem(sString, TVI_ROOT, TVI_FIRST));
	HTREEITEM htiTemp(InsertItem(sCategories, hti));
	SetChildExpand(htiTemp);

	SetItemData(htiTemp, CONTRACT_CATEGORIES_NODE |
	  (SEQ_MASK & dsContracts.GetL("contract_seq")));

	SetNoEditMode(htiTemp, 0);
	SetChildExpand(hti);

	// Make a link of the contract number
	CFont* p_cFont = GetItemFont(hti, NUMBER)
		? GetItemFont(hti, NUMBER)
		: GetFont();
What's special about that line? Beats me...

[A few minutes later...] Hey guess what? Now that line works okay as the last line, and the line above it is the one that fails. Sigh...
