WeBuilder2015 PHP variable highlighting

Postby mwalker212 » Fri Dec 12, 2014 3:49 pm

When I double-click a PHP variable in WB2014, e.g. $variable, it would only highlight the variable name (excluding the $), highlighting all matching copies and also highlighting non-variable text of the same string. I found this to be very useful as, for instance, I use variables with the same name as associated database fields and highlighting one would highlight the other in query strings making them all easy to spot.
However, in WB2015 it appears that double-clicking a variable now selects the $ as well which means only matching variable names are highlighted and nothing else. Selecting the variable name manually excluding the $ doesn't highlight anything else at all.
Is there an option to switch back to the 2014 method of highlighting where variables are concerned? If not, would it be possible to add an option for such?

*EDIT
That's odd, having re-installed 2014 to check a few other things it appears I was wrong, it treats variables the same as 2015. I could have sworn it did what I mentioned above, did I imagine it or has something been reset in the reinstall?...

Sorry, but WB2014 and even before has always had included $ in word selection in PHP files. As far as I'm informed, there was voting some years ago and this behavior was favored over the exclusion of $.
