Hello,
Type something like this (C++):

int test(5);

test is colored like funcion, instead of variable.

I'm using VAX build 1287.

yep, it has been doing this for ages. the official answer is that the colouring is worked out by a fast, light weight parser. this parser has to be fast and light weight so that it can keep up when you are scrolling the page, and still allow VAX to apply colours without bringing your machine to its knee's.

as a result it isn't good at complex situations. the general problem of telling this sort of variable apart from a function prototype is rather tricky, unless you are the compiler.

the unofficial answer is to consider the line:

QString strName("fred");

where you are calling a constructor, so it is reasonable to colour it as a function
