Symbol coloring doesn't work at all
« on: October 14, 2011, 10:28:42 PM »
I've upgraded from SE14 to 16 this week and noticed that Symbol coloring doesn't work at all anymore. Even though in my Appearance/Colors I have associated Symbole coloring scheme set to one of hte themes. Did you SE add a new ption that has Symbol coloring off by default or something? If so I can't find it.

here is SE info

Yes, symbol coloring has been turned off by default.

To turn it on for an individual file, go to the View > Symbol Coloring > Enable Symbol Coloring.

To turn it on for a language, go to View > Symbol Coloring > Customize...

Coloring unrecognized symbols is also off by default, but can be turned on in a similar manner.

I don't know whether it is a bug:
In Fortran program, a function whose name is a single character doesn't be colored, while it will work if its name is changed to two characters.
For example, b(...)-->bb(...) will work.
