After upgrading to 5.7.210, I can no longer see the content of the intellisense window:



I haven't changed anything else. SSMS is set to use "Blue" theme and Highlighted Reference color option is set to "Automatic".

.....aaaaaaand scrap that post. As if by magic, its suddenly working fine again :-\

Thank you for updating us on this issue. Please let us know if any questions arise.

This morning its broken again. Can't see any text inside of intellisense because its black text on dark background.

I tried restarting SSMS, disabling SQL Complete, but no joy.
Bizarrely, switching the theme from Blue to Light, and then back again, fixes the problem.

Is this is a SSMS bug, or SQL Complete...?

I am having the exact same problem. Thank you for the heads up on changing the color theme that also worked for me. This has happened intermittently since I upgraded and it is getting very annoying so I really appreciate the work around.

We will investigate this issue and will answer you as soon as possible.

This happened to me right after the 5.7.210 update.
The workaround I discovered:
1. select "Tools" from the SSMS menu
2. select "Options"
3. expand "Environments"
4. highlight "Fonts and Colors"
5. select "Ok" (note: don't need to change anything if you have Identifier fore/background colors configured correctly)

This workaround overwrites at least the back/foreground colors of "Fonts and Colors -> Identifier" so SSMS is able to display text.
This should give devart developers a hint where to look to fix the problem.

@alexa
Can you please forward my workaround to your dev team so they can have a better starting point?
Thanks

Thank you for the information.

This issue will be fixed in the next version 5.8.

We would like to let you know that we have released dbForge SQL Complete, v5.8 https://www.devart.com/dbforge/sql/sqlc ... nload.html

This appears to be fixed in 5.8. Thank you for listening :-)
