v5.0.3.527 - Syntax highlighting stopped working

[Bobby Dennett]

A co-worker is using version 5.0.3.527 and her syntax highlighting stopped working even though "Syntax Highlighting" is checked off in the Editor preferences. Apparently, syntax highlighting stopped working after she clicked something in PL/SQL Developer... unfortunately, she doesn't remember what she clicked and I don't know of anything that would cause this (besides unchecking the "Syntax Highlighting" preference).

Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.

Please view the following URLs for a screenshot of the Editor preferences and the various .kwf files:

Thanks.

Works fine for me. Perhaps the co-worker can try to reset all preferences by temporarily renaming the following regisry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Allround Automations\PL/SQL Developer

Just rename it to "PL/SQL Developer.renamed", start PL/SQL Developer, and try again. Afterwards you can rename the registry key back.

Thanks for the response, Marco.

Unfortunately, renaming the registry key did not resolve the issue

Unless there are any other suggestions/ideas, I will likely recommend to my co-worker that she should have IT uninstall and reinstall PL/SQL Developer.

Thanks again for your help!

I have no other suggestions at the moment.
