Is that a comment or a string? Or just text in a source file with no source code?

This is text in a source file with no source code
(I'm writing a documentation which contains many pieces of code, so I want syntax highlighting).

Anyway, previous version of VA works normally, this feature was introduced in 1635.

In 1626 colors are normal, but it has other bug: at least under Vista 32-bit and VS 2008 it displays random characters when typing.
It looks like already typed characters change when typing new characters (for expample, spaces change into random letters, or letter to digit '2'). This is pure display bug, file content is normal when saving.

Maybe this may help someway: russian letters in windows-1251 encoding have codes higher than 0x80, in range 0x80..0xFF. By default, in VC 'char' type is signed, so they are interpreted as negative numbers.

Unfortunately I cannot get Russian text from your forum post. Can you please send me a sample file, as a zip file, via the form:

http://www.wholetomato.com/support/contact.asp

including this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up. Hopefully this way the file will reach me correctly, and I will be able to see the Russian characters when I open it.

I have the file, thank you for this. Do you see this colouring problem when you open this file on its own? Or do you only see this problem when you have a solution open?

Using VS2008 and VA 1638 with the IDE font set to "Courier New" I am seeing this:

Win XP, VS 2008, Courier New, solution closed, rebuilt symbol databases:



Now I will check locale settings.

Hmm... when I changed (WinXP) "Control Panel -> Regional and Language options -> Advanced -> Language for non-Unicode programs" from Russian back to English (United States), I was unable to get correct display encoding in VS 2008 at all. Didn't think VS 2008 is not-Unicode program...

The only regional option that matters is the one mentioned above.
When it's set to "English", abracadabra is displayed (not a Visual Assist issue), when it's set to "Russian" this coloring appears.

Forgot to say (maybe obvious): turning off syntax highlighting in VA solves the problem, but how can we live without VA syntax highlighting...

Can you try setting "Language for non-Unicode programs" to English please, and then after the reboot load VS2008. Then follow the following steps.

* use CTRL-O to show the "Open File" dialog
* select the test file you sent me but DO NOT OPEN IT
* press the DOWN arrow at the right hand end of the "Open" button
* select "Open With..."
* select "C++ Course Code Editor (with encoding)"
* when the "Encoding" dialog appears select the encoding "Cyrillic (Windows) - Codepage 1251"

This is what I did here to open this file in VS2008, and this is where the screen shot came from. I am wondering what you see when you do this.

Followed your instructions exactly, encoding is now correct, but result is the same:



System locale was set to English (US), XP Eng and Vista Eng behave identically, VS 2008 (Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM), VA 1638 and 1635 behave identically, solution closed, file was opened with 1251 encoding.

Maybe VA settings do matter? I've sent it via mentioned above form.

Hmm... this may be difference in color scheme.
Red (my case) -> Gray (your case)
Magenta (mine) -> Red (yours)
Black and blue (mine) -> Black (yours)

Anyway, I've uploaded my VA settings .reg file

Yes! Problem is captured.
The matter is not VA color settings, but VS color settings.

To reproduce the problem go to the
Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Colors -> Display Items
and set "Operator" color to any color except black.
In my case it was set to "blue".

As you found operator colour was the key step. Now I have changed this I am seeing the same problem, thank you for your help:

This has been fixed internally, and the fix should show up in the next build, which is expected fairly soon.
