Code Coloring is Different

I have noticed that in Andrew Chalkley's jQuery Basics course that his version of Workspaces highlights jQuery functions as orange, strings as blue, variables/objects as green, and keywords as red. However, using Workspaces now, it seems that that color coding is mostly gone and variables/objects/strings are all green, functions are black (same as other text not recognized), and keywords are still red.

Why in the world was this taken out of Workspaces? I know it is not browser specific because it renders the same in Chrome and Firefox.

To illustrate what I am talking about:

This is my Workspaces screen:

And this is Andrew's screen:

I think maybe are styles applied by browser. Firefox/Chrome

They are not applied differently via browser as I've said that Firefox and Chrome both produce those same colors.

Maybe the designers have some thoughts?

Hey Gang, just wanted to let you know we've deployed an update for this and syntax highlighting should be good to go.
