Well, I don't have a mac, so I can't test this, but I was involved into some refactor around the bracket-highlights (a few month back).
one of the major changes was http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=11693 revision 15861 Did it work before that? Did/does it work in 0.9.24? A few of the other work items were http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=11732 revision 15845 http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=11754 revision 15883 (highlight bracket on either side of caret) Anyway, a few things that may help to nail it down (even so I will not be able to do too much, since I have no mac...) 1) Do determine if it is an issue, with synedit thinking it needs to highlight a bracket, or is it an issue with Synedit not redrawing? Do find out: When the highlight goes wrong: a) Bracket is highlighted, but the cursor moved away b) Bracket is not highlighted, but the cursor is on the bracket resize the window, or overlap it with another window => anything that should force a redraw => does synedit correct the highlighting? 2) Fontsize issues (there is a good chance to find it here) - Try highlighter = "none" or "text" does that look any better? - does it make a diff,if the caret is on the opening or closing bracket (the bracket occurring first on the line, or last?) - does it make a diff if the 2 brackets are on the same line, or on 2 different lines (especially with highlighter none/text ? Synedit with highlighter, paints the line as a selection of small "tokens". It calculates the width of each of them. If the actual textdrawer gets a different width => all sort of strange things can happen. That could explain an operating system dependent issue.
