For example, if I have local symbols in bold and variables in yellow (Fonts and Colours) (for ease of use as grey is not in forum code).
It appears like this without whitespace:
if (m_pFont != NULL)
Now if I turn on white space it appears like this:
-+ if-+(m_pFont-+!=-+NULL)

The colour and boldness of m_pFont has been removed.

Another different example (declaring variables).
HDC m_hDC;
goes to
HDC-+m_hDC;

Nice description, thanks!

Confirmed in Visual Studio 6.

Will test if this also occurs in .NET 2003.

I'm going to take a stab and guess that studio 6 uses characters other than ascii 32 and 9 for space and tab when "show whitespace" is on, rather than just rendering the whitespace differently. If this is the case, I imagine it would mess with any regex that VisualAssist uses for colouring. If I wasn't such a whistespace fanatic, this bug would really deter me from editing with whistepace showing.
