With a preprocessor  definition defined XYZ , the main code where you have 

#if defined (XYZ)
code
code
#endif

still appears greyed out (as if its not defined)
the greying more often than not occurs which is inconsistent.

This happend in all the V3 releases as well.

  If the #if is in a header file and the definition has been made using the Preprocessor Definitions project property, make sure the header file is added to the project otherwise CrossStudio will not know what definitions to apply to the file.

  XYZ is in the Preprocessor Definitions

  #ifdef (XYZ)

  code_here....

  #endif

  "code_here" 50% of the time will be grayed out. if I add #define XYZ to the top of the file and then immediately remove it, the code appears as normal. It's a bug! It comes and goes..

  I have several projects in my solution which have different  Preprocessor Definitions, maybe its that that confuses the IDE.

  Its purely a visual thing because the code that is greyed out does compile and gets linked in (go figure)
