Multiple issues with Less

Hi,

I came back from a 2 week holiday last monday and say an update for the Web Workbench, so I installed it (version 3.2.400.21116). But now stuff started happening which is really annoying me:

• Syntax highlighting for nested rules is messed up: http://kipusoep.nl/1.png The first line with a { } is wrong, the second line is good
• Syntax highlighting for variables is broken: http://kipusoep.nl/2.png (first line)
• Less comments breaks the syntax highlighting for the rest of the page: http://kipusoep.nl/2.png (lines 3 - 5)
• Pressing the enter key in various situations leads to unwanted behavior
  • Look at the cursor in this screenshot: http://kipusoep.nl/2.png When I press the enter key on that spot, this happens: http://kipusoep.nl/3.png
  • Take a look at these screenshots: http://kipusoep.nl/4.png The first arrow arrows means 'Pressing the enter key'. The second arrow means 'Pressing the } key followed by the enter key'. It's just completely confused it seems.

Sorry to hear this. Ive tried reproducing this here but I am not encountering any of the issues. Attached is an example of what things look like in the file I have created based on your screenshots above.

We have heard of some issues with VS changing the palette around although the reason for this isn't clear - check if the solution described in this thread works for you: http://www.mindscapehq.com/forums/thread/373860

I notice you also have some other extensions installed, in particular Web Essentials doesnt seem to play very nicely with Web Workbench anymore so you may want to check if disabling it or any other extensions you have installed changes the behavior you are seeing. In particular the behavior around the enter key sounds odd - we dont have any hooks for behavior here so this definitely sounds like another extension coming into play.

Ah thanks, it wasn't Web Essentials though. It was the Css is Less extension. Disabled it and now everything is working fine again :D
