Divs no longer highlighted in blue in Live Preview

[TonyGG18]

Whenever I am in a css file with live preview on, whenever I click on a class live preview does not highlight in blue the div container. I turned off my computer for the weekend and when I came into work this week, this feature no longer worked. Even tried creating a new html project with blank files. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well. Also tried reloading without extensions.

@TonyGG18 Are you seeing the blue border highlight, but not the blue background color highlight (and then fade)? Issue #8914 captures that.

[TonyGG18]

I see no highlights or background color highlights at all.

Make sure that your css file in inside your current "project" (i.e. folder opened with File > Open Folder...). More things to try in Troubleshooting guide.

[TonyGG18]

Yes my css file is inside my current project. The highlight function does not work with the "getting started" project either. I tried several steps on troubleshooting guide to no avail. To be clear, I currently have open the "getting started" project with no extensions loaded, I closed all instances of Google chrome, I clicked live preview, I open the css file, highlights don't appear.

Try Debug > Show Developer Tools and switch to the Console. Are there any errors? Copy and Paste them here.

Which version of Brackets are you using? We have posted beta builds of 0.45 if you want to give that a try.

Here is what the console looks like after opening an html page in live preview without any extensions.

What is the link to your css file?

[TonyGG18]

link rel="stylesheet" href="css/inner.css"

[redmunds]

Make sure that path is correct. If so, make sure there are no syntax errors in stylesheet.

[TonyGG18]

I assume that the css file that came with the "Get Started" project has a correct path and no syntax errors, correct? Because even opening that project the highlighting feature does not work.

[redmunds]

What version of Chrome are you running? Brackets only supports current stable version, not beta, dev, or canary.

[TonyGG18]

Version 38.0.2125.111 m

[redmunds]

You should have tried this from Troubleshooting page, but be sure to clear your cache: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/Cache-Folder

Maybe your installation became corrupt. Try re-installing Brackets.

[TonyGG18]

Yes I cleared the cache before and it didn't work.

SOLUTION:
I had to completely uninstall Brackets, completely delete the Brackets folder inside Roaming, then reinstall Brackets. Wow, what a chore. Thanks for being patient. Hope this helps anyone else having a similar problem.

[redmunds]

Whew! Closing.
