[Bug] C# attribute resizing has no effect for files already open when VS launches

[stamminator]

I am using -3 resizing on C# attributes using Codist's syntax rules. For files that are already open in the editor when Visual Studio launches, this styling does not apply until the file is closed and reopened.

Attributes are the only token I'm seeing this happen with. For example, I'm using +1 sizing for the region name and it's working fine on initial load. Excerpt from my Codist.styles file:

    {
      "Key": "preprocessor text",
      "Bold": true,
      "Italic": true,
      "FontSize": 1.0,
      "ForegroundColor": "#BFBF00"
    },
    {
      "Key": "C#: Attribute notation",
      "FontSize": -3.0
    },

Using Codist 8.1.1.11207

I could not reproduce your issue on my side.
Please open the Syntax Highlight Customization Window when this issue happens and click onto any one of the attributes on the code editor and see whether the C#: Attribute Annotation is listed on the window.

Please try out the latest version and see whether this issue will be gone.
I can't reproduce this issue. So I will close it now.
Please ask for reopening it if it still occurs.

Unfortunately this is still happening for me in version 9.0.0.11665. I've noticed that this doesn't happen to me in the Codist codebase, but it does happen for me in my company's internal solutions, which are much larger. I've gone ahead and reproduced the issue when opening Microsoft's eShopOnWeb sample codebase, which is also somewhat complex and has many projects. This would seem to indicate a race condition that is likely dependent on project/solution complexity and machine speed. I've also disabled all extensions other than Codist to eliminate externalities. Here are my repro steps:

1. Download the https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnWeb repo.
2. Open eShopOnWeb.sln.
3. After nuget package restore is complete, build the solution.
4. Open the EditCatalogItem.cshtml.cs file.
5. Observe that the Codist-configured reduced sizing of the attribute text [Authorize(Roles = BlazorShared.Authorization.Constants.Roles.ADMINISTRATORS)] is honored.
6. Leaving that file open in the editor, close Visual Studio.
7. Re-open the solution.
8. EditCatalogItem.cshtml.cs should be opened automatically. Observe that now, even after Codist initializes and other syntax highlighting takes effect, the reduced sizing of the attribute text is not honored.
9. Close and reopen the CS file. Observe that it's working again.

If it still isn't happening for you here, it could be that your machine is fast enough to beat the race condition. In that case, could you try it in the even larger and more complex https://github.com/dotnet/eShop codebase?

Can you upload your Codist config.json file here?

For files that are already open in the editor when Visual Studio launches, this styling does not apply until the file is closed and reopened.

Will it work if you type something into the code window, let Codist update the semantic model and refresh the highlight?
