Re: Color lost in middle of source

I've seen it many times on 7.0 over the years.  I think 9.0 has only done it once in the 6 weeks I've been using it.  I agree with Gary, it seems to initiate from getting something out of the proper sequence in the code, but the annoying thing is that even after the error's corrected, I've always had to close and re-open the member before it clears up.  I'll have to see if I can capture the trigger point next time I see it.

Booth,

I see the loss of color coding and sometimes I have
been able to make sense of it:

    If I copy some code and create a "fragment" of a sub-procedure,
    and I think something similar, like miss-placed D specs.

    un-matched /free /end-free may also cause this.

    other times, I never "get it" . . .

    Still on 8.0

RDi, 9.1  From time to time, in ways I can not yet predict, the color coding for lines of source code goes to all black.  Later in the program the color may, or may not, return.  So far, it seems to make no difference with compiling but it is unsettling.  Any suggestions as to what I have done?  Or not done?
