You probably have a System Property called 'glide.ui.syntax_editor.polaris' which is set to true. Find the System Property and set this to false. If you don't have the property, create it and set the value to false.

Please note, setting this to false may mean other script editors, e.g., the Flow Designer script editor may behave differently, specifically the type-ahead features. There is a problem ticket (PRB1725418) open for this. I tend to switch the property back and forth depending where I'm working.

Mine too, did you were you able to configure it?
