PHPStorm: PHP code inside HTML tags

Question

I just changed for PHPStorm (I was a Coda user). I must confess that I am currently very happy but I have a big problem. I work a lot with Wordpress with lots of .php files with both PHP and HTML inside. The problem is that I lose my PHP syntax highlighting (and by the way the auto-Completing code, etc...) when I write PHP Code inside HTML tags.

Here's a picture to explain it.

PHP syntax highlighting problem

The HTML syntax highlighting is OK but no PHP.

Do you have any idea? Thank you very much!

1) Have you tried File | Invalidate Caches... yet? 2) Does this issue is reproducible in brand new empty project? 3) Please provide full file content that has such problems (I have re-typed what you have on a screen (instead of just copy-paste (but you have not provided such option, unfortunately)) and it looks OK for me so far. 4) What PhpStorm version do you use exactly (build number) ? — LazyOne
@LazyOne Ouch, works the first 10sec after opening, then back to the screenshot above. (version 7.1 build #PS-133.326) — Thibaut
Well... 1) Please try with all 3rd party (not bundled by default) plugins disabled 2) Check idea.log for possible hints (Help | Show Log in ...) 3) Backup and delete your project settings (PROJECT/.idea subfolder) and re-configure this project from scratch 4) Backup and delete (or just rename) your IDE settings (intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/23358108) and start from scratch. — LazyOne
5) If still nothing (same behaviour even after deleting ALL settings, IDE and Project ones) then submit new ticket to Issue Tracker at youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/WI P.S. But would be good to have some simple demo project (or at very least a whole file) to reproduce. P.P.S Please try EAP build -- confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/… — LazyOne

Problem solved by deleting all the PHPStorm settings and reset to factory default by restarting the software.

On MacOSX :

rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Preferences/WebIde70"
rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Caches/WebIde70"
rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Application Support/WebIde70"
rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Logs/WebIde70"
