The problem is that when opening or closing string constants with a double quote character, the syntax coloring often gets screwed up. The most common symptom is that code below the string constant is all turned string color when the string is opened (fair enough), but is left string colored with the string is closed.

Am I the only person who has ever noticed this?

Noticed it since Project Builder, got used to it. But yes, it's pretty bad.

There was a case in 2.5 and earlier where this happened if an unmatched delimiter (such as an apostrophe or double quote) appeared in a # preprocessor or comment line, but that was reported and verified fixed in 3.0.


As joar said, if you have reproducible cases in Xcode 3.0, file a bug. There are currently no bugs in the queue about string-coloring extending beyond the closing delimiter.
