WebStorm seems like the IDE for web dev, and I've been enjoying it very much. The only problem is the linter's error underlines:
Due to such light color I've spent quite some time debugging while the error shouldn't had happened in the first place, I looked around and didn't find a way to change the color. Is this possible in WebStorm?
Even dark themes don't have a harsh and contrasty underline. Can we change it?
What inspection does the issue come from?
Place the caret at the highlighted line and press Alt+Enter
Click the arrow next to the inspection to open the submenu, choose Edit inspection profile settings to jump to inspection definition
either choose the inspection severity per instructions at https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/2020.3/configuring-inspection-severities.html#change-severity or configure the color/effects used for specific severity as described in https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/2020.3/configuring-inspection-severities.html#change_highlighting
(I've looked far and wide but I can't even find anyone having the same problem, not to mention a fix or anything. Closest is this thread which just announces the feature...)
The way it currently works for me, the VS2019 code lens integration of P4VS (for C++ at least) is almost completely pointless. Each function has an indicator added, but the information in each is identical - namely the change history of the entire file:
According to this Microsoft article, I would expect to either get function-level change information that pertains only to that function or a single change summary of the file at the bottom of the editor. But instead I get the worst combination of both.
I'm mainly surprised that I can't find anyone else talking about this, so I assume something is misconfigured on my part. Can't find anything in the configuration options though...
Is this just a bad implementation by Perforce or is something wrong on my end?
I have just found out that it can be turned off by Visual Studio options.
How to turn off CodeLens-References
Text Editor > All Languagues > CodeLens
As I write code in Dev-C++ and scroll around to write another function and come back to the previous function I was working on Dev-C++ will have had entirely deleted my previous function! It also puts my code in all different places all over the screen randomly, messes up my code when I do edit --> undo and will give me error statements when I don't even have errors. I am running Windows 8. Can anybody help me get this straightened up please? It recently messed up a very large product I was working on with over 500 lines of code so I am rather upset about it. Thank you very much in advance for any help or any suggestions of other simple IDEs.
I'm using VS2012 and I'm quite happy with it. But the problem is, whem I'm coding in C++, that the syntax highlighting is turning off an on all over again. Sometimes, the highlighting is off and I have to reload the file. Also, it highlighting is quite slow.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
I know this is a while ago but I have had this same problem appearing randomly until just now.
It would disable when the last line in a file was a single line comment. (// blah blah). As soon as i removed that the text highlighting worked again!
Edit: In this answer I assume that your problem description is correct. In other words, I'm assuming that occasionally C++ highlighting is working, and the other times the text appears as plain text: completely black and white.
My guess is you are using an extension which modifies or replaces the way Visual Studio highlights C++ code. Try temporarily disabling all of your extensions and checking again if the editor is working. Some extensions might have the Disable button disabled; in that case you'll need to uninstall the extension for this test (possibly through Control Panel → Programs and Features).
As an example of one common extension that completely replaces the C++ highlighter is Visual Assist. However, I do not personally use that product and I haven't heard of any specific problems with it of this nature. I am merely mentioning it as an example of an extension that completely changes the behavior of Visual Studio in regards to syntax highlighting of C++ code.
For me, highlighting always stops working when the first visible line in the editor begins with the characters '//' and I trigger reparsing somehow (CTRL + S for instance).
Highlighting always works fine when the first visible line in the editor begins with anything else, even with a whitespace, and I trigger reparsing somehow.
I could indent all my comments and never experience this problem, but now that I know about it, it's not so annoying anymore, so I let it be.
This is a bug in Visual Studio 2012:

If you're using only Intellisense, you may go to Edit->Intellisense->Toggle Completion Mode (or hit Ctrl + Alt + Space), play with it and see if it works (maybe you've pressed this combination of keys by accident).
I've also installed Update 3 and haven't had any problems since. Who knows..
I had the same problem. Disabling the extentions sadly did not work for me.
After searching around and realizing that it only happened on larger files,
I got it to work by turning harware acceleration off.
Tools->Options...->Environment->General
*Automatically adjust [...] (off)
*Use hardware graphics acceleration (off)
In my case, it turned out that a large block of code (a 200+ line method) was commented out with // starting in the first column, and this was causing the syntax coloring not to work. I changed the commenting delineation to /* ... */ for that method and all of the syntax coloring was fixed.
Personally, I found that things like:
#if 0// bla-bla
mess up syntax highlighting badly. The solution that works for is to put a space before a comment, like so:
#if 0 // bla-bla
I installed Visual Studio 2012 Update 3 yesterday and started experiencing the exact same behavior described in the original post. Based on some suggestions in this thread, I took at look at my extensions, and disabling AllMargins fixed the issue. I've since re-enabled AllMargins and everything appears to be working as it should.
Try disabling and re-enabling any of your extensions; hopefully that will fix the issue for you.
In Qt/QtCreator I have come across a problem that I cannot seem to fix. I have 3 QCommandLinkButtons in a vertical layout. In the designer everything seems fine and I have it the way I want it, like this:
When I run the application though it looks very different.
At first glance it may look fine, but upon further inspection you can see that the icon is cut off as well as the description. I have tried setting minimum sizes on these buttons as well as putting them in different types of layouts, and none of that worked. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
EDIT: This only happens when I have these in a QWizard. Just tried a regular dialog, and it worked fine.
