It really does look like it is only broken for C++!

The code with a problem is:

// comment1 - nice and green
int ItIsAReallyLongVariableNameWith[A_REALLY_LONG_CONSTANT_NAME_HERE]
                                   [AND_A_REALLY_LONG_CONSTANT_NAME_HERE];

// comment2 - it's unfortunately white and everything below as well
typedef const int OtherStuff;

class Test
{
};

It looks like:

The default Vscode theme is being used.

It should look like:

Moving the 2d array to be on one line completely fixes the problem. Unfortunately, I need it split on 2 due to formatting requirements.

Are you using the latest version of the extension? It works for me

Hi Jeff - I am using VS Code version 1.50.1 .. My understanding is that I don't need any extension here, as your functionality is baked into VSCode itself, right?

I have also disabled all extensions and my VSCode is pretty much the default settings on the machine I am right now using. And it is still showing the problem.

I assume the extension of your file is .cpp? Figured I'd ask, just in case.. If there are any other settings I should try tweaking, just let me know .. Thanks!

Sorry for the delay.

The extension will get you the fix immediately, since it contains the latest version. Once the version in the extension has been tested for awhile, then it gets merged into VS Code. I'm not sure what the timeline is (how often they update it).

And yes the the file extension is .cpp 👍

That did the trick - thanks!
