Code Coloring fails on Copy (Ctrl+C)

[captkirk88]

As mentioned in #330 I am experiencing the same issue in the latest VS 2022 update.

Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit)
Version 17.11.1

Happens exactly when I use Copy shortcut Ctrl+C then don't even paste, either hitting Enter to make a new line or less often just using Ctrl+C and the coloring is removed. I disabled the extensions I believed could be causing this potential for a conflict in which they modify the active document in some way but the issue still occurs.

[wmjordan]

Does this issue occur on any type of code document types, e.g. C#, HTML and Markdown. or just a specific document type, e.g. C# only?

When this issue occurs again, please do the following:

1. Open the Options page
2. Check the Add "Show Active Window Properties" command to File Menu checkbox.
3. Click into the code window where the syntax highlight is lost.
4. Execute "Show Active Window Properties" command from the File menu
5. Copy the content from the following window alike and paste it here.

[captkirk88]

I tried HTML and it doesn't show any syntax highlighting for those files. I don't have any syntax highlighter extension for html. I didn't know Codist could highlight html.

Only part I edited were the paths to files and project names.

I tried to see if the smartbar "Show Syntax Classification Info" might help. I don't use the smartbar but I tried it. Manually triggered by hitting Shift key twice and it doesn't pop up anymore.

[captkirk88]

I found that Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y for undo/redo do not affect syntax highlighting.

[wmjordan]

The info you posted read quite normal.

Please try the Customize Codist Syntax Highlighting dialog in the Tools window. When you open that dialog, you can click/select on the source code and the corresponding syntax styles will be listed in the dialog. Check to see whether the highlighting is working or not.

[LuohuaRain]

This issue persists in version 17.11.2

[Tennyleaz]

I also get this issue. Occurs when pressing Ctrl+X to cut in .cs files.

Codist v7.9.2.9918, visual studio community 2022 v17.11.2

[wmjordan]

Everybody, I am sorry that I can not reproduce this issue on my side.

Please try the procedure in this comment: https://github.com/wmjordan/Codist/issues/333#issuecomment-2309986969 Click a symbol in the code editor that you have customized and post your screenshot here.

If you see a screenshot like the above, where highlighting is lost but the "C#: Field" or some similar entries started with "C#:" are listed in the list, it means that the C# parser provided by Codist is still working. There might be something wrong within the highlight overrider.

[LuohuaRain]

[LuohuaRain]

Sorry, the screenshot above is not clear. I get one more clear

[wmjordan]

@LuohuaRain Thank you very much for the screenshots. They do help address the cause of the problem. It seems that this issue has something to do with ReSharper, which somehow kicks Codist's C# parser out of the tagger collection.

[Tennyleaz]

These are my screenshots. Before pressing ctrl+x:

After pressing ctrl+x:

[wmjordan]

@Tennyleaz Thank you for your screenshots. Do you have any extension that associate itself with the clipboard commands?

[Tennyleaz]

@Tennyleaz Thank you for your screenshots. Do you have any extension that associate itself with the clipboard commands?

I have resharper installed alongside with codist. But as memory served I don't have clipboard/keyboard shortcut related commands set.

[wmjordan]

Well, I managed to reproduce this issue on my computer, with the "Copy rich text on copy/cut" option in VS/Text Editor/Advanced enabled. I usually turn this option off to boost performance thus I have never encountered this. Please check and see whether you have that option turned on. If it is on, please switch it off and see whether this issue persists.

I will post a new beta version which should have this fixed soon.

Great find! Tried turning OFF copy RTF, seems to stop this issue.

[wmjordan]

Everybody, please try out the beta 8 to see whether this issue is fixed.

[captkirk88]

The setting change worked. I could not find the beta. I installed your extension through the extension manager in Visual Studio and I did not have a prelease/beta option. It works, I'm good. I'll leave the closing of this issue to you concerning if the beta works.

[wmjordan]

The beta is posted on top of the "issues" section here.

Here's the link: https://github.com/wmjordan/Codist/issues/334

[Tennyleaz]

Tried v8.0 beta. The issue seems to be solved.

[wmjordan]

Thank you for the confirmation. I just published the fix as version 7.9.3 to the marketplace.
