I have come to be dependent on the matching braces, parentheses and brackets being highlighted and now that feature has stopped working. I canG??t put my finger on when it quit working because we are on such a deadline that this is the first time I've been able to look at the forums to see if anyone else is having this problem. Since I donG??t find this complaint for the new release it is probably something that I have messed up, but I still need your help.
IG??m using version 10.7.1929.0 built 2013.02.22

Can you please go to:
VA Options -> System Info -> Copy Info
and paste the details (from the clipboard) into your reply. This will give us the basic information about your setup.
What language are you working in? I am assuming C++ or C#.
Do you have time to make a new, default project and see if it works there?
If you turn Off
VA Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Highlight matching {} and () using
VA Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Highlight mismatching {} and () using
does this make any difference to what you are seeing? If you turn these options back on again, does this start working again? |

Turning off the matching {} etc made no difference and turning them back on didn't either.
I will either open an old project or make a new one to see if it works there.

| I made a new project with nothing in it really, just a dialog based project with the rest defaults and it still doesn't highlight matching braces etc. |

Can you please look in the IDE Options dialog, at:
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors
in the "Display items" list do you have the two entries:
VA X Brace Error
VA X Brace Matching
these should be followed by several more VA X items.
If these are present, is Bold set for either of them? Are they set to clear and obvious colours? Can you please change both their foreground and background colours, and see if this helps. |

Both entries had the foreground set and the background set to default. Bold was set for both also.
I changed the foreground color and nothing changed. I changed the background color and that took, but the foreground color didn't change. Neither caused the bold to happen. Turning off the bold box has no effect. |

Do you have any other extensions installed? I am wondering if something could be interfering with the foreground and bold for brackets.
Before the next test, I recommend you export your IDE fond and color settings, so that you can get them back again easily. This is done via:
IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings
and then export all of them, or just the section you want.
Can you now press the button:
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Use Defaults
and see if this makes any difference. Does going back in and changing the settings for VA X Brace Matching make any difference?
You are checking this with the caret inside the actual brackets I assume, since:
if|( x == y )
will show different behaviour to:
if( x |== y )
where | is the caret, since the IDE highlights the brackets when the caret is in front of the opening bracket. |

Clicking the Use Defaults caused it to do no matching bracket highlighting at all. Clicking on a bracket changes the background of it and its matching bracket to blue, but that's it.
Did the system info tell you that I'm using the dark theme? I changed to the light theme and it didn't affect the highlighting at all while using the defaults.
I've imported the settings I just exported and now I have no coloring either. :-(

if|( x == y )
vs
if( x |== y )
The first one turns both parenthesis blue and the second one does nothing now. Earlier, I had the background set to something other than the regular background and it did change the background color but I can't get foreground color to change.

| I've gotten the color back, but I had to set it up again. At least that part is working again. The bracket highlighting still will only change the background color and will not change the foreground color or the make the brackets bold. |

IDE bracket highlighting is working, but I don't understand why this test has stopped VA bracket highlighting working at all. Can you please export your VA and full IDE settings and send them to me:
VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings
IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings
I can then import them here and see if I can reproduce the problem. Please submit the files 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. |
