Highlighting bracket

[tigerfeu]

Issue Type: Feature Request

Hello, since the 1.67, the brackets are not matching anymore. (I dont have any visual indicator on where the brackets are (nether with the bar at the right where there was an indicator of their position, nether with the highlighting of the brackets in the code). I didnt suceed to find the parameter which could help resolve the problem. I tried to reinstall the 1.66 to check, and it is indeed caused by the 1.67.
Thank you in advance to help me with this.

Is it reproducible with all extensions disabled?
You can try this with F1 and >Developer: Reload Window With Extensions Disabled

Please provide code language and sample that causes this problem.

Yep, same without the extension. Im actually doing a mod for stellaris (i dont know what language it is, but the files are .txt)

Like you can see on the image, even if my cursor is here, the bracket doesnt highlight like on the following image anymore

@tigerfeu did you see this item in the release notes?

I can confirm the issue.

The weird thing ist: When I set "editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled" to false coloring and matching comes back like in previous version.

But haven't tested yet with disabled extensions.

Well, i just saw something else, maybe related, i dont know since im beginning on Visual Studio Code.
First, thank you to both of you for your time, but i already came across this, doesnt change anything.
Second, it seems depending the location of the folder im working on, i get the highlight and color back.
For information, the folder that didnt have the highlight and color is on my desk, the other folder which is working fine is in a subfolder of "my documents" (but i have color and highlight only with the extension on) Maybe you got some info about that? Is that normal? Are they normally no colour and highlight in Virtual Studio Code?

I don't know if it helps here anyhow. Maybe it's a completely different issue. My tests:

A)

• As long as deprecated extension "bracket-pair-colorizer-2" is enabled and "editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled" is false I see bracket colors and matching also in mixed files.

*Example 1: .html with Go code:

*Example 2: .md with HuGo code:

B)

• Start migration of "bracket-pair-colorizer-2" to core (or how it was called),
• set "editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled" to true
• Restart VS Code.
• => No bracket colors and matching in above mixed files.
• I have to additionally use in my user settings.json to get back the old behavior:

"editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": true,
"editor.language.colorizedBracketPairs": [
 ["[", "]"],
 ["(", ")"],
 ["{", "}"],
 ["<", "</"],
 ["<", "/>"],
]

So, at least, the migration changes the "loved" behavior and is not really B\C.

Yep, perfect, i got color for bracket and visual indicator both by highlight and in the right bar, thank you.

Helps a lot. I really hate this feature. It ruins a good morning.

For those who want bracket matching/highlighting without colors:

    "editor.matchBrackets": "always",
    "editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": false,
    "editor.language.colorizedBracketPairs": [["(", ")"]],

The recent update ruined my old setup.

Now, Bracket Pair Colorizer 2 does not work, no matter what combination of settings I employ.

It's necessary for me to use this extension, as the new "native" VSCode colorization caps out at 6 colours.

As I use highly nested languages like Lisp (Clojure) and Dart with Flutter, it's ruined my coding experience as 6 colours is far too few to be able to follow where you are in the code structure. I tend to use 20.

Once you've tried writing in Clojure or Flutter with 20-level-deep colorization, as opposed to 6, it's impossible to go back. It makes things much, much more manageable.

So, because of this "update", I shall have to downgrade. I'm eagerly awaiting a fix (which, incidentally, would be very, very simply for the VSCode team to achieve).

You have to explicitly disable native bracket pair colorization.
