I've noticed throughout my use of VAX (pre-VAX builds too), the wrong colors are shown for the CRect class from MFC:

CRect ClipRegionRect;
CurrDC.GetClipBox(ClipRegionRect);
CurrDC.BitBlt(ClipRegionRect.left, ClipRegionRect.top, ClipRegionRect.Width(), ClipRegionRect.Height(), &MemDC, ClipRegionRect.left, ClipRegionRect.top, SRCCOPY);

With the default colors for enhanced syntax highlighting enabled:
Both 'left' CRect member variables displays in 'blue'.
Both 'top' CRect member variables displays in 'brown'.
The Width() and Height() methods display in 'gray'.
I have tooltip syntax coloring enabled and the tooltips are also sort of messed up (the coloring is nice but I don't expect it to be correct).

CRect is the only case I've run into where this happens. It doesn't appear to affect anything or cause problems making this a cool but really weird bug.

This issue is minor. From my perspective, this is a low-priority fix.

I just ran into this scenario again a few minutes ago but not with RECT. I have a class called Time. I have another class that has a method called Time with zero parameters. When I write the method Time() in my code, it turns 'blue'. It should be 'brown'. This additional information might be helpful to create a reproduceable scenario that is simpler to debug.

i am seeing the same thing, having set up this test. this appears to have a different cause, even though the final result is similar

case=660
