Visual Studio IDE and fixed format files

11 Jan 2010 3:47 #5696

When a fixed format file is used and any character but ! is typed in the first column to comment a line, the subroutines and functions drop-down list of the visual studio editor is not able to distinguish between actual statements and any kind of commented line in which the word subroutine or function is present. For example, consider the following code:

       subroutine dosomething(a, b)
c  This subroutine does useful things.
       instructions

In the IDE combo-box the first and the second line both generate an entry, but only the first should do. Is it possible to fix this annoying bug for next versions?

I also noticed that in VS some key-words for operators are not highlighted: for example .le. and .gt. appears properly coloured, while .lt., .eq. and .ge. are not recognized. Everything ok in Plato instead.

A shot to clarify what I wrote previously and unfortunately was not fixed in v6.00.
