Codewarrior 8x never failed to recognize symbols. But Codewarrior 9, including 9.2, has the problem that a significant chunk of the global symbols, such as typdefs, enums, macros, and even some global functions, are not recognized. It occurs more often with declarations/definitions in header files than in source files. This is just the browser - naturally, the compiler recognizes everything.

This has caused a serious productivity hit for me, because whereas I used to be able to right click and go to the declaration or definition of a typedef or macro, in CW 9.2 I'm forced to use Find In Files - which is very slow when having to look up dozens of items to understand a page of code.

There is little pattern to 9.2's recognition - I even had a page of macros flash into recognition for a few minutes and then mysteriously flash back out again.

I know Codewarrior is aware of this problem - I just want to say that is a SIGNIFICANT problem for me, so please put a priority on fixing it. (Not since the crashing problems of CW6 has my productivity taken such a hit.)

In Codewarrior 9.0 I was able to choose the syntax recognition mode, but I couldn't find that option on 9.2. Is there a way in 9.2 to revert back to the previous system for syntax browsing?

Thanks. :)
