See topic.

In the latest version (1.26.7 (7)) I don't get any keyword highlighting anymore.

Reinstall... Highlighting working just fine here, and not changed since v1.26.7.6 (when two keywords were added).

Ok, must be something in the install.

As soon as I try to install any of the 3 new versions my antivirus software (Kaspersky) goes up to 100% on 1 CPU and never comes back. :-/

Kaspersky is well known for its false positives, due to the "heuristic" algorithm it uses (i.e. it tries to spot "suspicious" code sequences in excess of virus footprints: of course such robotized guess-work often leads to lamentable failures among which many false positives).

Just use another free antivirus which isn't based on the highly unreliable heuristic algorithms but on a daily (or even hourly) updated virus footprints database instead. I'd recommend ClamWin.

I have disabled all the heuristic stuff in Kaspersky now.

Reinstalled the client, keyword highlights are back. :)
