I have tried this feature in latest version 10.5.1715 and saw some problems:
1. Incorrect highlighting, with the following code
int nSize = m_drawingImage->GetPropertyItemSize(PropertyTagFrameDelay);

// Allocate a buffer to receive the property item.
m_pPropertyItem = (PropertyItem*)malloc(nSize);

m_drawingImage->GetPropertyItem(PropertyTagFrameDelay, nSize, m_pPropertyItem);

As I click on nSize, only the first and third one is highlighted, malloc(nSize) is not.

2. Drawing flick:
As I scroll up or down, other occurrence of the chosen symbol will appear, and not highlighted, then, it will be colored.
This make a flicking effect that look bad.

Hope this will be improved.

Point 1, the code, I am seeing the same problem. This is very strange, thank you for the very clear example:

case=24169

Point 2, what sort of scrolling do you mean? Are you moving the caret up and down the file, changing the current symbol? Or are you leaving the caret alone and using the mouse wheel to scroll the code?

We are making a change to how highlighting works in the next build of VA, I am hoping that this will fix both problems, since it should make highlighting more reliable when scrolling through code.

For 2.
The current symbol is not changed. I either scroll up and down by the mouse or the vertical bar.

By the way, can you mark the occurrences with marks on the left (or right) vertical border of the code page (like Eclipse :-))

We are looking into highlighting not working correctly when scrolling without moving the caret:

case=24445

Marking all occurrences with some form of vertical strip is something we are considering:

case=23536
