This does just not seem right. Adding a "this." will correctly color the member, removing "this." does not.
Using VA 10.9.2341.2 (trial)
Am I missing something?

Ok, now it gets funny:
VA does color these items correctly, until... i scroll the window, either with the mouse or by clicking on the scroll bar. Then it get "uncolored". When I switch window and back (Alt-Tab), it gets colored correctly again.
Seems there is some interference here. Not sure what and why, no other syntax coloring extension installed, so its a fight between VS and VA.

The clue is that "Text" is sometimes showing up in italics. This is a common enough symbol name that VA's coloring is getting confused about the meaning of this. Since the colouring code has to run quickly we have to make some educated guesses sometimes about how to colour things, so seeing the same name used for two different symbols of different types can confuse our colouring code.
This is something we are aware of, and do try to minimise, but it's not something that we currently have a full fix for. |

| I see, so thats only with "common enough" symbols? I keep an eye on it, though it doesnt explain the color/uncolor/recolor effect. |

| Well, I just changed the name to Text1, with the effect that it doesnt get any color anymore. Just plain white. Cleared cache, rebuilt database, etc. |

Apologies, I really did not explain that very well. From the "Color by Usage" section here:
https://docs.wholetomato.com/default.asp?W179
>> Coloring is efficient, particularly during scrolling, but unusual sequences of symbols and characters, and commonly used symbol names of differing types, might cause a symbol to be drawn in the wrong color. For example, if MyVar is a method in one place and int in another, MyVar is colored like a method regardless of the instance to which it refers.
This seems to be a factor some of the time, but I don't think it explains all of the colour problems you are reporting. |
