Could you let us have a small set of files set up like your document as well as a description of the order you are doing things to see the behavior. Does this happen if you open the root file directly? What are your `Project Root File' settings (TeXShop->Preferences->Misc)? Etc.

Howdy,

Sorry, that is not what I read in your original description.

So you are saying that any .tex file you open in TeXShop is not initially syntax colored in Mavericks. If that's correct it should be easy to duplicate by anyone running Mavericks. Sorry I can't help here.

Do I have that right?

Good Luck,
