    I’m experiencing a UI issue in Visual Studio (with VisualGDB) where the syntax highlighting becomes unreadable when selecting text. The background/foreground contrast makes the text nearly invisible.  I can get it to disappear if I insert a space in the middle of a word or continuous block of text.

    I’m using both the latest versions of Visual Studio 2022 and VisualGDB with Windows11 (I also experienced it with Windows10) I have tried resetting the Text Editor Fonts and Colors to their defaults without success.

    I’m using the default VisualGDB Intellisense settings.  If I disable VisualGDB’s Intellisense completely the issue goes away.

    I believe this is the “Refactoring Suggestion” color settings driving this behavior. I am not 100% positive since it has been so long since I fixed that on my install. I can promise the setting is in this menu even if it is not specifically the one I mentioned.

    @bflannery, yes and thanks for pointing it out. There is a bug in VS that sometimes stores the wrong colors, although it happens very rarely, so we could never fully reproduce it.

    We have a page describing it here: https://visualgdb.com/documentation/colors/
