Rename Preview Should Go To Line

[Seidleroni]

When I start a ‘Rename’ procedure to rename a function (CNTRL+R, CNTRL+R) and see all of the instances that would be renamed, it would be great if when I select the function call in the top box, the bottom box would select the line (or at least display it) where that function is used. Instead it just goes to the first line in the file, which is annoying. Also it would be great if the Preview Code Changes box would respect the font color selections I made in visual studio. It looks like it uses the default visual studio highlighting.

Hi,

The Preview Changes dialog is actually rendered by Visual Studio based on the data VisualGDB reports to it, so the amount of tweaking we could do to it is limited.

That said, reference highlighting was indeed broken in the latest VisualGDB 5.4R2, so we have fixed it in this build: VisualGDB-5.4.103.2810.msi

Awesome, new build works great. The syntax highlighting as part of variable renaming preview is not that big of a deal.
