Thank you Andy!

Hi,
The syntaxHighlightingAsYouType* Preferences relate to the Shout package, which
is NOT part of the 3.9 release. As you say, the preference values have been
fixed in the squeak-dev image (which includes Shout), and are also fixed in the
latest squeaksource version of Shout.

Unfortunately, the SqueakMap version of Shout is not up-to-date, and has the old
(confusing) default preference values. I will soon update the SqueakMap release
with the latest from squeaksource, and then everything should be ok.

Cheers,
Andy

Stef & Marcus,

would it be possible to change all syntaxHighlightingAsYouType*
Preferences to values that do not cause confusion for beginners.

This was already done so for the Squeak-dev image.

Thank you very much in advance!

Thank you Klaus.
Everything is fine now.
Probably that defaullt setting should be changed before the release,
shouldn't it?

Open Preference Browser and in the searchbox type
syntaxHighlightingAsYouType.

This will show up three underscore and := related preferences.

Unfortuntely the initial preferences in the stock 3.9 image are as you
desribed.

Have a look at the developer's image, there this (and other preferences)
are pre-set for meeting the expectations of developers, the image also
comes with cool tools pre-loaded
