All text goes green (as in comments) when any word is selected

[emera86]

Hi there,

Since I've updated from SAS EG 7.11 to the 7.13 version I'm noticing a strange behaviour when I select a word in my code text. With the previous version, once I selected a word, all the occurrences of this word were highlighted in yellow automatically, which was very useful. With the new version, when I select a word, all the text becomes green as the default color for comments and there's no highlight.

I've read something about this issue in this post, but I don't know how was it solved:

Thanks for your help!

Regards.

It seems that it was all due to an extra " inside a comment that was causing this strange behaviour. Everything's working fine again.

At least I hope this post helps if someone has the same issue.
