Description clutterskull 2010-04-15 21:51:52 UTC 
In the PHP code editor, coloring preferences are not applied to some operators, for instance, '=' is not colored according to the operator rule but '.=' is.

Also brackets, braces, and parenthesis are not colored according to the separator rule as they are in other languages, while semicolons are colored properly.

A screenshot of the coloring on various elements is attached and can be seen at: http://cl.ly/LNP
Additionally, color settings for Operators can be seen at: http://cl.ly/6OR
and Separators at: http://cl.ly/MFx

Comment 4 clutterskull 2010-04-15 22:17:12 UTC 
With a little more testing it seems that this issue affects operators with only one character (=, +, >, ., etc), while operators with multiple characters (==, >=, ->, etc) are colored properly.
Comment 5 clutterskull 2010-04-16 22:38:43 UTC 
Confirmed that this issue also exists in 6.9M1 Mac
Comment 6 Filip Zamboj 2010-04-19 13:05:20 UTC 
reproduced in 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 100418-38937479e21f)
Java: 1.6.0_16; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 14.2-b01

1. change tools -> options -> fonts and colors -> syntax -> operators to whatever else color but default 
2. example is correct but the mistake is in editor, colors (for- and background) are not assigned to 'one character' operators but are to 'two characters' operators
Comment 7 Filip Zamboj 2010-09-15 12:31:20 UTC 
batch reassigning
Comment 8 Ondrej Brejla 2011-08-16 09:38:11 UTC 
Still reproducible in NB 7.0.1.
Comment 9 Petr Pisl 2011-09-26 14:26:08 UTC 
The problem is in lexer, that produce "wrong" tokens. '=' is PHP_TOKEN like '.' or ')' etc, but "==" or "+=" is PHP_OPERATOR. Needs to be corrected in PHPColoringLexer and then assign the right category for the tokens.

Hi,

When this bug will be fixed?

Thanks.
Comment 11 LuxZg 2012-03-13 12:38:14 UTC 
Still isn't fixed in 7.1.1

Highlighting parenthesis/braces/brackets and single character operators is always going back to default.

Interesting, when selecting parenthesis/braces/brackets their match/mismatch is highlighted correctly (both foreground and background).

Only way to change their color is changing the colors for All Languages -> Default, which in turn requires manual changing of all other colors that "inherit" this value.
