Description fjan11 2009-02-26 21:51:02 UTC 
def max(a,b); a>b ? a : b; end
	def min(a,b); a<b ? a : b; end

Oddly enough, the function max gets colored correctly, by the function min does not (the 'b' stays black)

Hmm, seems to work for me in the very latest build. Which build are you using (Help -> About)? Does closing the file 
and opening it again help?

That's odd since it should be easy to reproduce. For me, it happens on 6.5, 6.7M2 and the latest build (it does take a little while for the coloring to show 
up). I found that inserting spaces around the < fixes it, so this one is fine:

def min(a,b); a < b ? a : b; end 

As far as bugs go this is a tiny one, but I thought I'd report it since it may be indicative of a larger issue
Comment 3 Erno Mononen 2009-02-27 08:39:31 UTC 
Oops, sorry -- I didn't look carefully enough, indeed the 'b' in a<b stays black for me too (in 'a : b' it's colored 
correctly though). I will look into this, thanks for reporting.

I'll try to fix this for 6.9, should be simple unless the problem is in the AST produced by the parser.
