I'm using VS 2010 with JustCode and Productivity Power Tools installed as the only extensions. JustCode works fine until I enable the Color Identifiers option (which I'd really like to use). As soon as I save the preferences and open a C# document Visual Studio crashes.
I assumed this could be a conflict with the Pro Power Tools, so I tried disabling the extension, without any effect. I also tried uninstalling it, VS still crashes.
Thankful for any advice.
Here is the log:

thanks for the feedback.
Unfortunately the log only shows that the CodeAnalysisServer process lost the connection to Visual Studio, most likely because the Visual Studio process crashed/exited.
Could you please check the Windows Application Log? There should be an entry for devenv.exe or .NET framework logged there each time VS crashes like this and that information will probably help us to find out what is going wrong.
BTW: You are the first to report this problem. Does it also happen if you have "Color Identifiers" enabled and create a new ConsoleApplication? Or does it only happen on the C# files in a particular project?

In my Windows Error Log there was only a message from Windows error reporting:
Interesting.
Does every crash of VS with "Color identifiers" enabled produce an exception like that?
Do you use a custom editor font? It can be set in the Environment > Fonts and Colors section of the Visual Studio Preferences Dialog. The default is "Consolas" and if it is not set to "Consolas" could you try with "Consolas" and see if that resolves the problem?

Thanks, great support!
Good to hear that fixes it for you.
JustCode uses the bold style for identifier colorization. VS might have a general problem with rendering the bold styles of the DejaVu Mono font. If it is important to you could try to follow up on this with Microsoft or the creators for the DejaVu fonts.
