..at all. Just nothing happens when I check (or uncheck) 'Highlight all' after references are listed. Am I doing something wrong? 'Find References' dialog is docked, the code window backround is dark (if it is important). The rest of my configuration below:

With two diffirent colors, at leat one should be noticeable on every background :) But yes, I tried to change the colors - with no avail. I also check the box with result in the window. I think that coloring should be immediately visible after checking the box, when the symbol on which I pressed the 'Find references' is still visible in the code window. It should, but it isn't. |

| What color do you use for your background, and what colors did you choose for the Hightlight references. I use a light background color and Hightlight References has always worked for me. |

Background: r:0 g:72 b:72
Text: white
References: FFC0C0 and C0FFFF
Honestly, I doubt if it is a background-related problem. I can see window repainting when I check the box, but nothing changes in it. For testing, I opened CxImage project (can be found on www.codeproject.com) and perform reference searching on CxImage symbol - results are the same. |

Do you have "Enhance Syntax Coloring" enabled (VA Options|Environment)? Highlight references is dependent upon that setting...
case=1285 |

Scratch that last question.
I'm seeing this too on a test machine. My src window bkgrnd is normally black. On the test system, changing it to white allows the highlighting to work - and changing it back to black breaks it. This might be related to case=1198.
If you change your src window bgkgrnd color to white does the highlighting start working?

Unfortunately no, still can't force it to work. I think I just must wait for this issue to be resolved :) |

| Does it work if you set background for items 'Text' and 'Identifier' to white and then restart the IDE? |

to repeat Sean's earlier question, what color do you have set for "window" in control panel -> display -> appearance tab (-> advanced button under winXP)?
i have this set to off white (a very pale blue) and this stops highlighting working. |

| Hm, previously I set it to 'default', which turns it into some kind of beige (the default color for windows in my system, if you ask for it). Now, I set it literally to 'white', and... v'oilla! It works! :) Strange. But I'd rather wait for next version, the white background is too much for my tired eyes.. |

Hm, the list of changes for 1524 states:
Highlight All references works with non-white, global background color. (case=1198) (Fixed in VS2005 only.)
Let me be first to report, that it is fixed now for VS2003 also. Ha! ;) |

beef, when i tested this in 1524 it simply did not work for me in VS2003, but now it does. it turns out my registry settings were slightly upset. so i can now agree, it does in fact work in VS2003 as well
bugfix this working for me in both VS2003 and VS2005 with the Consolas font from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=22e69ae4-7e40-4807-8a86-b3d36fab68d3&displaylang=en
can you open the IDE -> tools menu -> options dialog and then cancel it, and then re-try highlight references please. you probably have the same invalid piece of data in your registry as i did, and this should reset it, thus fixing the problem.
the other thing to check is that the colours you have selected for highlight references are sufficiently distinct that they will show up on your colour scheme. |

Opening and Closing doesb't fix it.
Highlighting works as soon as I switch to e.g. Courier New. So my color settings are ok, I see both L- and R-Value differently colored. FWIW, I'm using default color scheme in VS and XP. When switching back to Consolas font there's just no coloring applied here, already tried different font sizes. |

i have just emailed you via the forum. can you reply to the email with both you your VS2005 and VA settings attached please:
IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings
VA Options -> Performance -> General -> Export Settings
also can you confirm that your windows global background colour is white?
are you using the Consolas font from the link i posted? or is it possible you have the font from some other location, and thus some other version of the font.
i can then import these settings and see if i can reproduce the problem here. |

*sigh* i have imported both the VS2005 and VA settings and highlight references works perfectly for me in my test project.
can you try this in a different project? which OS are you running?
it makes very little sense that this would be project specific like this, but it is not impossible. |

Project doesn't matter. I've had different projects when testing it in VS2005 and VS2003.
XP+SP2+zillion of hotfixes and no CPU hogging AV running in background:)
No other Addins are currently installed. All in all it's pretty fresh install because 1 month ago my XP didnt boot anymore so I had to reinstall.
Maybe just ask the devs how a font can probably cause such an effect? |

Well, I don't know what I am doing differently, but I see the same thing as bugfix. One thing I see is that Consolas apparently does not have a bold. At least I can't tell the difference.
I think this one is really the font itself. Consolas is described as being "optimized for Clear Type." Perhaps one of the optimizations is to restrict the background colors somehow? I don't know.
I could either re-open the existing (closed) case, or open a new one. But, since this is font-specific, I am not too hopeful about being able to resolve it with anything short of "use a different font."
Have you tried Bitstream Vera Sans Mono? I forget where I got it, but the link is in the forums here, if you search for it.
Next action is your choice, bugfix. Just let me know. |

this is very odd. here is a screen shot of what i am getting:
i have highlight all set to a rather obvious red from when i was testing it. this is what my win2k machine claims is the Consolas font, as downloaded from Microsoft. i do not have clear type tuner installed or turned on on this machine, it is running inside VMWare.
is anyone seeing this problem on win2k? or is everyone who gets this running on winXP? |

*insert rude word here*
i have just installed both VS2005 and Consolas on a WinXP machine, and now i can reproduce this. the problem appears to be OS specific! |

I *do* have the ClearType tuner installed. As you observed, turning it on or off doesn't seem to matter. Uniwares seems to support that having it installed doesn't matter.
The (system-wide) ClearType stuff only works in XP. Perhaps this explains the appearance of being OS specific?

Highligting references doesn't work
