Lost some color highlighting

Post by dhurtt » Sun Dec 01, 2013 3:01 pm

I have noticed that a lot of the keywords are no longer colored, specifically "on", "if", "then", "else", etc. but other keywords are fine. I have the Preferences for the Script Editor set to "Default" in the Colorization option and I see the yellows, greens, and purples, I just no longer see the keywords that were previously black and bold. Any idea what got set and how to change it back? The only changes I remember making on this particular preference was turning "Show Globals" and "Strict Compilation Mode" on. I have since turned them back off, but that has not fixed it. The only other change I made was upgrading Livecode to Commercial 6.5.0 build 3009, and I cannot recall whether it started after the upgrade, but before I changed the Preferences. My version of Live Community 6.1.3 still shows all of the keywords above properly (i.e. black bold).

I always assume I it was something I did! :D But, if anyone else has seen this happen, maybe it wasn't me...

Regards,

Dale

Even reinstalling did not help. I am beginning to suspect this is an issue with 6.5, or at least the Commercial version. Can anyone verify whether the words "on", "if", "else", etc. are highlighted with bold and black for either Community version 6.5 or Commercial version 6.5?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dale,
I can confirm I am seeing bold black with 6.5 commercial.

Thanks. I reset the defaults and it came back. I changed one option that I forgot I had previously: I changed the script editor's font. Apparently some fonts (like Lucida Console) do not do black bold for the keywords while others do (Courier New works fine).
