On most source files there is a complete lack of syntax colouring. I've tried disabling it and re-enabling it, rebooting. This happened with the previous 2 releases as well (not sure about further back than that).
The really strange thing about it is that if I move the horizontal scrollbar to *any* position other than the extreme left, the syntax colouring returns. So I can have the colouring, but I lose the first column of my source.
Ideas? |

With the exception that I'm editing cpp files, yes it appears to be the same issue. |

If you have VC++ 6.0, try "Reset all" in Tools|Options|Format.
If you have VS.NET, try "Use Defaults" in Tools|Options|Environment|Fonts and colors.
Reapply your custom fonts and colors afterwards. |

I'm using VC6. That doesn't seem to have helped at all. Playing with it further, even if I completely disable VAX I don't get the standard (VC standard) syntax highlighting on these files, yet on some files it shows up fine.
At this point I'm wondering if it isn't a VC6 bug. |

Do you have a "unusual" Color-Scheme, like a black background with white Text-color or something like that? |

No, VC6 default with VAX default.
Comparing files that are coloured with ones that aren't, the only thing that jumps out at me is that the ones that aren't seem to have a lot of preprocessor directives, while the other don't have as many. Otherwise I can't see anything that would make it hard to parse.
As an example, strcore.cpp in mfc/src is not being coloured.

That file is colored correctly on my system (VAX 1283, VS .NET 2003, WinXP SP2)... |
