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?

Hello everyone, I started using the latest 3.9 image and there are no := there :) Only underscores. Even when I write := it turns into _ when I save. I am sure there is a very silly option out there to deactivate this behaviour. Anyone can tell me? Thanks
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
