Copy this into TextMate: type t = { x : int; y : float } let _ = let r = { x = 1; y = 1.0 } in let r' = { r with x = 2 } in (* ... Syntax highlighting has stopped working here ... *) That's where it fails because of the "with". It's the only obvious bug I've run across, but if you have something like that early in the code, the rest of your code is not highlighted.
