I just installed VS plugin Codekana to see if I liked its features. When I restarted VS, it immediately popped up the below message. I'm not aware of this problem in VAX; is it real or just a claim by the Codekana folk so they don't have to research it?
It is possible to confuse VA's parser, by using the same symbol name for two different things. For example a class and a variable, both having the same name, can result in one having the wrong colour sometimes. See "Coloring by Usage" here:
Thanks for the response. I ended up uninstalling CodeKana because there did seem to be a number of conflicts between VAX coloring and that of CK. I ended up with an occasional word that had top half of letters one color and bottom another, or some letters one color and some another, weird things like that.
I like how CK colors BLOCKS of code; that would be a great feature to add to VAX. I'll write something up in the suggestions forum.
Is Codekana right?
