Description
VS 17.12 P5 (no extensions enabled)
- Outlining, document structure, quick info, brace matching all work
- Except syntax highlighting for C# and Razor components (although it highlights `@`). HTML seems to work too.
Making an edit invalidates the bad state and syntax highlighting comes back.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the report in Visual Studio 17.12 P5 with no extensions enabled, using a document containing C# and Razor components. Compare syntax highlighting with the working HTML highlighting, then edit the document to confirm that the bad state is invalidated. Done means C# and Razor portions remain correctly highlighted without requiring an edit.
