[BUG] File viewer panel does not syntax-highlight PHP files (v2.1.199, Windows)

Open 💬 0 comments Opened Jul 8, 2026 by tianpomin

Description

In the File viewer panel, PHP source files are rendered as plain monochrome text with no syntax highlighting. Line numbers and the file-path header render correctly, but keywords / strings / comments get no coloring.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.199 (latest)
  • OS: Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200)
  • Component: File viewer panel (desktop app)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a session in a repo containing PHP files.
  2. Open a .php file (e.g. app/Http/Controllers/Api/Client/OrderController.php) in the File viewer panel.
  3. Observe the code shows without syntax highlighting.

Expected

PHP source is syntax-highlighted, same as other languages.

Actual

PHP file content is plain monochrome; no keyword/string/comment coloring. (Screenshot to be attached.)

Notes

  • Reproduces on the latest version (2.1.199); updating did not help.
  • Searched existing issues — no duplicate found for PHP file-viewer highlighting.
